How many takeaways and restaurants North East Lincolnshire has
North East Lincolnshire registers 1,682 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 219 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 285 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 16 councils the FSA lists in Yorkshire and the Humber, North East Lincolnshire is number 13 for takeaway premises.
Restaurants and cafés (285) outnumber takeaways (219), but takeaways are still about 13% of the 1,682 food premises of every kind that North East Lincolnshire registers.
Takeaway density: 13.7 premises per 10,000 residents (population 160,101, ONS mid-2025 estimate), above 9.1 across the UK and 10.6 in Yorkshire and the Humber. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.
Hygiene results for takeaways
| Rating | Takeaways in North East Lincolnshire | England average |
|---|---|---|
| Rated 5 | 64.6% | 62% |
| Rated 4 | 20.2% | 19.1% |
| Rated 3 | 7.3% | – |
| Rated 0 to 2 | 7.9% | 5.8% |
178 takeaway premises in North East Lincolnshire have a published rating. 64.6% of them hold a 5, against 62% across England (+2.6 points), and 7.9% are rated 0 to 2. In Yorkshire and the Humber as a whole, 61.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so North East Lincolnshire is above its region.
41 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 86 (39%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. The share rated 0 to 2 is higher than the England average (5.8%), so a visible good rating on your own site helps. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

- DN35 alone holds 33% of the takeaway premises in North East Lincolnshire (73 of 219), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
- North East Lincolnshire has the number 2 most takeaway premises of the 9 council areas in Lincolnshire.
- Restaurants and cafés here do much better on hygiene ratings than takeaways: 81.5% hold a 5 against 64.6% for takeaways.
- 19% of takeaway premises (41) are still awaiting their first inspection, which usually means recent openings, so new competitors are arriving.

The kitchens behind the names in North East Lincolnshire
Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), North East Lincolnshire has 4 words that reach 10: 57 pizza, 21 fish and chip, 20 Chinese-style and more.
| Trading name contains | Premises | Chefzi page |
|---|---|---|
| pizza | 57 | Pizza |
| fish and chip | 21 | Fish and chips |
| Chinese-style (Chinese, wok, noodle, Canton, Szechuan) | 20 | Chinese takeaways |
| kebab (or doner) | 10 | Kebab shops |
Counts are premises, takeaway plus restaurant and café, whose registered trading name contains the word. A name without the word is not counted, so treat them as a floor.
Pizza is the cuisine word that sets North East Lincolnshire apart. It appears in 57 of the area's 504 food premises (11.3%), where the UK rate is 4.6%, or 2.4 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). 11 of the 57 are in DN32, a district with 39 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 47 rated pizza-named premises, 57% hold a 5, against 64.6% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in North East Lincolnshire. If you run a pizza shop here, expect more similarly named rivals than in most areas; your own ordering page is the one place none of them appears beside you. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 3 of 504 (0.6%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.
Postcode districts and delivery zones
North East Lincolnshire has takeaways in 9 postcode districts, and the three with the most are DN35 (73), DN32 (39), DN31 (23).
| Postcode district | Takeaway premises | Rated 5 (of rated) |
|---|---|---|
| DN35 | 73 | 69% of 65 |
| DN32 | 39 | 53% of 32 |
| DN31 | 23 | 44% of 16 |
| DN34 | 22 | 73% of 15 |
| DN40 | 19 | 60% of 15 |
| DN33 | 16 | 71% of 14 |
87% of North East Lincolnshire's food premises sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area, and half are within 1.7 miles, so a kitchen can usually cover its patch with one postcode-based zone; a short collection time is the easiest thing to promise. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.
Late-night hot food in North East Lincolnshire: the council's own page
Serving hot food or drink between 11pm and 5am normally needs a late night refreshment licence under the Licensing Act 2003, issued by the local council. North East Lincolnshire's council publishes its process here: North East Lincolnshire council licensing page (checked 13 November 2026). Check it before you open your ordering hours past 11pm.
The general rules, the 11pm to 5am window and what to ask are in the late night refreshment licence guide. Chefzi lets you set collection and delivery hours separately, so ordering hours can follow whatever your licence conditions say. This is general information, not legal advice.
