Spread over about 7,772,854 residents (ONS mid-2025 estimate), North West's 8,594 takeaway premises work out at 11.1 per 10,000 people, above the UK figure of 9.1. That puts North West 1st of 8 on this site's region pages for takeaways per 10,000 people.
Per head, Blackpool leads North West on 20.2 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, while Cheshire East sits at 6.3.

9% of North West's takeaway premises (765 of 8,594) are in Manchester.
45% of North West's takeaways were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 46% nationally.
The most common cuisine words in trading names, as a share of all takeaway and restaurant premises: pizza 1.7% (UK 1.5%); fish and chips 1.2% (UK 0.9%); indian 0.8% (UK 0.7%). These are name-keyword counts, so they miss shops with other names.
Takeaway premises sit across 259 postcode districts, and the six busiest hold 9% of them.

Figures come from the FSA register pull of 13 November 2026 and the ONS mid-2025 population estimates. Small areas move a lot between inspections, so read them as a guide, not a verdict on any business.
Late-night hot food (11pm to 5am) is handled by each council, so the rules and forms differ between the areas above. Each area page links its own council's licensing page where we found one, and the late night refreshment licence guide covers the general rules.
