What the food register shows for South Staffordshire

Of the 756 food businesses registered in South Staffordshire, 61 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 133 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, South Staffordshire ranks 29th of the 30 councils the FSA lists in the West Midlands.

Restaurants and cafés (133) outnumber takeaways (61), but takeaways are still about 8% of the 756 food premises of every kind that South Staffordshire registers.

Per head of population that is 5.3 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (114,811 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), below the UK figure of 9.1 and 8.5 in the West Midlands. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 71.2% of the 59 rated takeaway premises in South Staffordshire hold a 5 and 5.1% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (+9.2 points). In the West Midlands as a whole, 57.8% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so South Staffordshire is above its region.

2 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 23 (38%) 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 Staffordshire register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), one cuisine word reaches 10 premises in South Staffordshire: 12 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.

Reading trading names on the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, South Staffordshire stands out for Indian or curry: 8 premises, 4.1% of the 194 on the register, against 2.2% across the UK. 2 of the 8 are in WV10, a district with 6 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 8 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 62% hold a 5, against 71.2% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in South Staffordshire. An indian restaurant 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. Pizza names are rarer than average: 5 of 194 (2.6%, against 4.6% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

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