Redcar and Cleveland's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,245 food businesses of every kind in Redcar and Cleveland: 173 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 261 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The North East has 13 councils on the FSA list, and Redcar and Cleveland sits 8th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (261) outnumber takeaways (173), but takeaways are still about 14% of the 1,245 food premises of every kind that Redcar and Cleveland registers.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 139,541, Redcar and Cleveland has 12.4 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, above 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 165 takeaway premises with a published rating, 83.6% hold a 5 and 1.8% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+21.6 points). In the North East as a whole, 66.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Redcar and Cleveland is above its region.

8 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 105 (61%) 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 Redcar and Cleveland

Looking at trading names, Redcar and Cleveland has 2 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 50 pizza, 16 fish and chip. 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, Redcar and Cleveland stands out for pizza: 50 premises, 11.5% of the 434 on the register, against 4.6% across the UK. 14 of the 50 are in TS10, a district with 55 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 47 rated pizza-named premises, 77% hold a 5, against 83.6% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Redcar and Cleveland. A pizza shop 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. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 2 of 434 (0.5%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

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