What the food register shows for Stratford-on-Avon

Of the 1,395 food businesses registered in Stratford-on-Avon, 86 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 255 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Stratford-on-Avon ranks 20th of the 30 councils the FSA lists in the West Midlands.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (255 against 86), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Per head of population that is 5.8 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (148,772 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, 72.7% of the 77 rated takeaway premises in Stratford-on-Avon hold a 5 and 3.9% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (+10.7 points). In the West Midlands as a whole, 57.8% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Stratford-on-Avon is above its region.

9 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 47 (55%) 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 Stratford-on-Avon register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), one cuisine word reaches 10 premises in Stratford-on-Avon: 16 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.

Stratford-on-Avon has no standout cuisine word. The most common in trading names is pizza, at 16 of 341 food premises (4.7%), close to the UK's 4.6% (FSA, 13 November 2026). Nothing dominates, so a kitchen here competes on its own name and menu; a direct ordering page makes that name easy to find and easy to order from. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 0 of 341 (0.0%, 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, CV37 has the most takeaway premises in Stratford-on-Avon (30), followed by CV47 (13) and B80 (11).

Half of the food premises in Stratford-on-Avon are within 4.9 miles of the centre, 44% within 3 miles and 85% 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.

Late-night hot food in Stratford-on-Avon: 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. Stratford-on-Avon's council publishes its process here: Stratford-on-Avon 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.
