How many takeaways and restaurants Rutland has
Rutland registers 464 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 26 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 76 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 35 councils the FSA lists in the East Midlands, Rutland is number 35 for takeaway premises.
Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (76 against 26), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.
Takeaway density: 6.2 premises per 10,000 residents (population 41,629, ONS mid-2025 estimate), below 9.1 across the UK and 9.1 in the East Midlands. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.
Hygiene results for takeaways
| Rating | Takeaways in Rutland | England average |
|---|---|---|
| Rated 5 | 76.9% | 62% |
| Rated 4 | 15.4% | 19.1% |
| Rated 3 | 7.7% | – |
| Rated 0 to 2 | 0% | 5.8% |
26 takeaway premises in Rutland have a published rating. 76.9% of them hold a 5, against 62% across England (+14.9 points), and 0% are rated 0 to 2. In the East Midlands as a whole, 69.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Rutland is above its region.
No takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection, and 14 (54%) 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.
The kitchens behind the names in Rutland
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 Rutland, 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.
Chinese or noodle is the cuisine word that sets Rutland apart. It appears in 4 of the area's 102 food premises (3.9%), where the UK rate is 2.5%, or 1.6 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). If you run a Chinese takeaway here, expect more similarly named rivals than in most areas; your own ordering page is the one place none of them appears beside you. Kebab or doner names are rarer than average: 0 of 102 (0.0%, against 1.7% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.
Postcode districts and delivery zones
the three with the most are LE15 (26).
| Postcode district | Takeaway premises | Rated 5 (of rated) |
|---|---|---|
| LE15 | 26 | 77% of 26 |
Half of the food premises in Rutland are within 0.8 miles of the centre, 58% within 3 miles and 100% within 10. That suits a close zone with a low minimum order plus a wider zone 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.
What stands out in Rutland
- This is a small market, 102 takeaway, restaurant and café premises in all, so a single well-run ordering page can reach most local customers.
- Melton, 9 miles away, has 40 takeaway premises against 26 in Rutland, so Rutland customers have fewer local rivals.
Late-night hot food in Rutland: 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. We could not open Rutland's licensing page automatically, so ask the council's licensing team for its current process and fees.
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.
