What the food register shows for South Holland

Of the 817 food businesses registered in South Holland, 76 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 126 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, South Holland ranks 23rd of the 35 councils the FSA lists in the East Midlands.

Restaurants and cafés (126) outnumber takeaways (76), but takeaways are still about 9% of the 817 food premises of every kind that South Holland registers.

Per head of population that is 7.5 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (100,758 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), below the UK figure of 9.1 and 9.1 in the East Midlands. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 83.6% of the 73 rated takeaway premises in South Holland hold a 5 and 2.7% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (+21.6 points). In the East Midlands as a whole, 69.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so South Holland is above its region.

3 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 37 (49%) 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.

Cuisines on the South Holland register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), 2 cuisine words reach 10 premises in South Holland: 10 pizza, 10 fish and chip.

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.

Kebab or doner is the cuisine word that sets South Holland apart. It appears in 8 of the area's 202 food premises (4.0%), where the UK rate is 1.7%, or 2.3 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). 5 of the 8 are in PE11, a district with 44 registered takeaways of every kind. If you run a kebab shop here, expect more similarly named rivals than in most areas; your own ordering page is the one place none of them appears beside you. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 1 of 202 (0.5%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

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

By postcode district, PE11 has the most takeaway premises in South Holland (44), followed by PE12 (25) and PE6 (4).

Half of the food premises in South Holland are within 2.8 miles of the centre, 51% within 3 miles and 84% 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 Holland

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