Tameside's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,709 food businesses of every kind in Tameside: 298 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 311 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The North West has 35 councils on the FSA list, and Tameside sits 10th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (311) outnumber takeaways (298), but takeaways are still about 17% of the 1,709 food premises of every kind that Tameside registers.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 240,822, Tameside has 12.4 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, above the UK rate of 9.1 and 11.1 in the North West. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 288 takeaway premises with a published rating, 48.6% hold a 5 and 4.9% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is below the 62% average for England (-13.4 points). In the North West as a whole, 54.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Tameside is below its region.

10 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 174 (58%) 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 Tameside's takeaways sit, and how to draw delivery zones

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Tameside are OL6 (65), M34 (58), SK14 (52), out of 10 districts with at least one takeaway.

89% of Tameside's food premises sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area, and half are within 1.7 miles, so a kitchen can usually cover its patch with one postcode-based zone; a short collection time is the easiest thing to promise. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

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, Tameside stands out for chicken or peri-peri: 24 premises, 3.9% of the 609 on the register, against 1.8% across the UK. 8 of the 24 are in OL6, a district with 65 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 22 rated chicken or peri-peri-named premises, 55% hold a 5, against 48.6% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Tameside. A chicken shop 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. Kebab or doner names are rarer than average: 9 of 609 (1.5%, against 1.7% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

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