North Tyneside's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,498 food businesses of every kind in North Tyneside: 199 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 299 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The North East has 13 councils on the FSA list, and North Tyneside sits 6th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (299) outnumber takeaways (199), but takeaways are still about 13% of the 1,498 food premises of every kind that North Tyneside registers.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 215,401, North Tyneside has 9.2 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, close to the UK rate of 9.1 and 10.3 in the North East. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 189 takeaway premises with a published rating, 59.8% hold a 5 and 5.8% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is below the 62% average for England (-2.2 points). In the North East as a whole, 66.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so North Tyneside is below its region.

10 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 128 (64%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. A 5 is not the default here, so a kitchen that holds one can say so on its own ordering page. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

North Tyneside compared with elsewhere

• Takeaways are a bigger part of the picture here than in most places: there are 1.5 restaurants and cafés for every takeaway in North Tyneside, against about 2.3 across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
• NE28 alone holds 27% of the takeaway premises in North Tyneside (53 of 199), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• North Tyneside has the number 4 most takeaway premises of the 5 council areas in Tyne and Wear.
• Restaurants and cafés here do much better on hygiene ratings than takeaways: 85.6% hold a 5 against 59.8% for takeaways.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 69% of rated takeaways in NE27 hold a 5, against 52% in NE28.

Which kitchens are in North Tyneside

Looking at trading names, North Tyneside has 4 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 32 pizza, 22 Chinese-style, 17 Indian-style and more. 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.

Reading trading names on the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, North Tyneside stands out for Chinese or noodle: 23 premises, 4.6% of the 498 on the register, against 2.5% across the UK. 7 of the 23 are in NE29, a district with 43 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 21 rated Chinese or noodle-named premises, 52% hold a 5, against 59.8% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in North Tyneside. A chinese takeaway here shares its streets with more lookalikes than the national average would predict, so a direct ordering page and a clear link on your Google Business Profile do more work. Kebab or doner names are rarer than average: 1 of 498 (0.2%, against 1.7% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Where North Tyneside's takeaways sit, and how to draw delivery zones

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in North Tyneside are NE28 (53), NE29 (43), NE12 (27), out of 10 districts with at least one takeaway.

Food premises in North Tyneside are close together: 72% sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area (half are within 1.8 miles). A single postcode-based delivery zone per kitchen works well, and a short collection time is the main selling point. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

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