What the food register shows for South Gloucestershire

Of the 2,160 food businesses registered in South Gloucestershire, 139 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 370 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, South Gloucestershire ranks 11th of the 27 councils the FSA lists in the South West.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (370 against 139), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Per head of population that is 4.5 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (308,787 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), below the UK figure of 9.1 and 6.9 in the South West. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 68.3% of the 126 rated takeaway premises in South Gloucestershire hold a 5 and 4.8% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (+6.3 points). In the South West as a whole, 73.3% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so South Gloucestershire is below its region.

13 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 75 (54%) 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.

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

By postcode district, BS16 has the most takeaway premises in South Gloucestershire (26), followed by BS34 (25) and BS15 (24).

Half of the food premises in South Gloucestershire are within 3.7 miles of the centre, 38% 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.

Local patterns in South Gloucestershire

• 9% of takeaway premises (13) are still awaiting their first inspection, which usually means recent openings, so new competitors are arriving.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 74% of rated takeaways in BS34 hold a 5, against 50% in BS7.
• Bristol, 5 miles away, has 427 takeaway premises against 139 in South Gloucestershire, so South Gloucestershire customers have fewer local rivals.
• South Gloucestershire has the number 2 most takeaway premises of the 7 council areas in Gloucestershire.

Cuisines on the South Gloucestershire register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), 3 cuisine words reach 10 premises in South Gloucestershire: 24 fish and chip, 21 pizza, 12 kebab.

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.

Among trading names on the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, kebab or doner is the one that runs slightly above the UK rate in South Gloucestershire: 12 premises, 2.4% against 1.7%. 4 of the 12 are in BS34, a district with 25 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 10 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 50% hold a 5, against 68.3% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in South Gloucestershire. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 6 of 509 (1.2%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in South Gloucestershire: 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 South Gloucestershire'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.
