How many takeaways and restaurants Perth and Kinross has

Perth and Kinross registers 1,970 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 111 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 378 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 32 councils the FSA lists in Scotland, Perth and Kinross is number 19 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (378 against 111), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Takeaway density: 7.2 premises per 10,000 residents (population 154,930, ONS mid-2025 estimate), below 9.1 across the UK. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Scotland uses the Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS), which gives Pass or Improvement Required instead of a 0 to 5 score, and displaying the result is voluntary. Of 98 takeaway premises in Perth and Kinross with a result, 92.9% passed and 7.1% need improvement; the Pass share is above the Scotland average of 86.7%.

13 takeaway premises are awaiting inspection and 62 (56%) were inspected in the last 12 months. Because FHIS has only two outcomes, the way to stand out is to show your Pass certificate on your own ordering page. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

The kitchens behind the names in Perth and Kinross

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Perth and Kinross has 2 words that reach 10: 14 fish and chip, 13 Indian-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, Indian or curry is the cuisine word that stands out most in Perth and Kinross, a little above the national rate: 13 of the 489 food premises (2.7%), against 2.2% across the UK. 4 of the 13 are in PH1, a district with 35 registered takeaways of every kind. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 1 of 489 (0.2%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Perth and Kinross: the council's own page

In Scotland, selling food or hot drink between 11pm and 5am needs a late hours catering licence from the council, under section 42 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, whether the food is eaten on the premises or taken away. We could not open Perth and Kinross's licensing page automatically, so ask the council's licensing team for its current process and fees.

Our late night refreshment licence guide covers England and Wales; the rules in Scotland are different. 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.
