How many takeaways and restaurants North Lincolnshire has

North Lincolnshire registers 1,486 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 158 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 242 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 16 councils the FSA lists in Yorkshire and the Humber, North Lincolnshire is number 15 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (242) outnumber takeaways (158), but takeaways are still about 11% of the 1,486 food premises of every kind that North Lincolnshire registers.

Takeaway density: 9.2 premises per 10,000 residents (population 171,421, ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to 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

151 takeaway premises in North Lincolnshire have a published rating. 64.2% of them hold a 5, against 62% across England (+2.2 points), and 10.6% are rated 0 to 2. In Yorkshire and the Humber as a whole, 61.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so North Lincolnshire is above its region.

7 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 71 (45%) 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.

What stands out in North Lincolnshire

• DN15 alone holds 30% of the takeaway premises in North Lincolnshire (48 of 158), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• North Lincolnshire has the number 3 most takeaway premises of the 9 council areas in Lincolnshire.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 82% of rated takeaways in DN17 hold a 5, against 51% in DN15.

Postcode districts and delivery zones

North Lincolnshire has takeaways in 11 postcode districts, and the three with the most are DN15 (48), DN16 (32), DN17 (23).

Half of the food premises in North Lincolnshire are within 2.5 miles of the centre, 53% within 3 miles and 86% within 10. That suits a close zone with a low minimum order plus a wider zone with a higher minimum and a delivery fee. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

The kitchens behind the names in North Lincolnshire

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), North Lincolnshire has 3 words that reach 10: 36 pizza, 17 fish and chip, 16 Chinese-style.

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.

On the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, pizza names are the most distinctive cuisine word in North Lincolnshire: 36 of the 400 food premises (9.0%), against 4.6% across the UK, about 1.9 times the national rate. 12 of the 36 are in DN15, a district with 48 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 33 rated pizza-named premises, 52% hold a 5, against 64.2% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in North Lincolnshire. For a pizza shop in North Lincolnshire, that means more near-identical names on the same delivery apps, which makes a page of your own, linked from your Google listing, worth more. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 3 of 400 (0.8%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in North 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. We could not open North Lincolnshire's licensing page automatically, so ask the council's licensing team for its current process and fees.

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.
