Oadby and Wigston's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 412 food businesses of every kind in Oadby and Wigston: 63 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 82 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The East Midlands has 35 councils on the FSA list, and Oadby and Wigston sits 29th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (82) outnumber takeaways (63), but takeaways are still about 15% of the 412 food premises of every kind that Oadby and Wigston registers.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 61,533, Oadby and Wigston has 10.2 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, close to the UK rate of 9.1 and 9.1 in the East Midlands. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 51 takeaway premises with a published rating, 56.9% hold a 5 and 2% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is below the 62% average for England (-5.1 points). In the East Midlands as a whole, 69.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Oadby and Wigston is below its region.

12 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 30 (48%) 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.

Which kitchens are in Oadby and Wigston

No single cuisine word (kebab, pizza, Indian, Chinese, Turkish, chicken, peri-peri, shawarma, fish and chip, burger) appears in 10 or more trading names in Oadby and Wigston, so the market is a spread of independents rather than one dominant style. That favours a menu that is easy to find under its own name.

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, Indian or curry names are the most distinctive cuisine word in Oadby and Wigston: 5 of the 145 food premises (3.4%), against 2.2% across the UK, about 1.6 times the national rate. 4 of the 5 are in LE18, a district with 34 registered takeaways of every kind. For an Indian restaurant in Oadby and Wigston, 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: 2 of 145 (1.4%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Oadby and Wigston: 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. Oadby and Wigston's council publishes its process here: Oadby and Wigston 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.
