North Norfolk's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,480 food businesses of every kind in North Norfolk: 89 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 302 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. East of England has 45 councils on the FSA list, and North Norfolk sits 23rd of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (302 against 89), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 103,708, North Norfolk has 8.6 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, close to the UK rate of 9.1 and 7.2 in East of England. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 88 takeaway premises with a published rating, 75% hold a 5 and 1.1% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+13.0 points). In East of England as a whole, 67.4% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so North Norfolk is above its region.

1 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 49 (55%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. With so many 5s, a 4 or below stands out to a customer scrolling through options, so show your rating and fix anything that holds it down. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

Which kitchens are in North Norfolk

Looking at trading names, North Norfolk has 3 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 19 fish and chip, 13 pizza, 10 Indian-style. This is a rough guide, not a cuisine census.

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.

Indian or curry edges ahead of the national rate in North Norfolk: 10 of 391 food premises (2.6%), against 2.2% across the UK (FSA, 13 November 2026). 4 of the 10 are in NR21, a district with 11 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 8 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 50% hold a 5, against 75.0% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in North Norfolk. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 2 of 391 (0.5%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in North Norfolk: 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 Norfolk'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.
