What the food register shows for Runnymede

Of the 724 food businesses registered in Runnymede, 52 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 294 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Runnymede ranks 56th of the 64 councils the FSA lists in the South East.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (294 against 52), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Per head of population that is 5.6 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (93,013 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), below the UK figure of 9.1 and 6.4 in the South East. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 60.4% of the 48 rated takeaway premises in Runnymede hold a 5 and 4.2% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62%. In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Runnymede is below its region.

4 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 26 (50%) 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.

Local patterns in Runnymede

• 8% of takeaway premises (4) are still awaiting their first inspection, which usually means recent openings, so new competitors are arriving.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 76% of rated takeaways in TW20 hold a 5, against 47% in KT15.
• Runnymede and Spelthorne (3 miles apart) are close in size: 52 and 51 takeaway premises.
• Runnymede leans towards restaurants and cafés: 5.7 for every takeaway, against about 2.3 across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sit-down kitchens adding collection and delivery are the growth route.
• KT15 alone holds 40% of the takeaway premises in Runnymede (21 of 52), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.

Where the takeaways are, and what that means for delivery zones

By postcode district, KT15 has the most takeaway premises in Runnymede (21), followed by TW20 (17) and KT16 (12).

69% of premises in Runnymede are within 3 miles of the middle of the area and 100% within 10 miles; half are within 2 miles. Most kitchens will want two zones, a close one with a low minimum order and a wider one with a higher minimum and a delivery fee. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

Cuisines on the Runnymede register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), one cuisine word reaches 10 premises in Runnymede: 14 pizza.

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, chicken or peri-peri is the cuisine word that stands out most in Runnymede, a little above the national rate: 8 of the 346 food premises (2.3%), against 1.8% across the UK. 4 of the 8 are in TW20, a district with 17 registered takeaways of every kind. Indian or curry names are rarer than average: 3 of 346 (0.9%, against 2.2% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Runnymede: 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. Runnymede's council publishes its process here: Runnymede 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.
