Tamworth's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 568 food businesses of every kind in Tamworth: 63 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 91 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The West Midlands has 30 councils on the FSA list, and Tamworth sits 28th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés (91) outnumber takeaways (63), but takeaways are still about 11% of the 568 food premises of every kind that Tamworth registers.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 81,392, Tamworth has 7.7 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, below the UK rate of 9.1 and 8.5 in the West Midlands. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 60 takeaway premises with a published rating, 65% hold a 5 and 1.7% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+3.0 points). In the West Midlands as a whole, 57.8% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Tamworth is above its region.

3 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 24 (38%) 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.

Which kitchens are in Tamworth

Looking at trading names, Tamworth has one cuisine word that appear in 10 or more premises: 11 fish and chip. This is a rough guide, not a cuisine census.

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.

On the 13 November 2026 FSA pull, Chinese or noodle names are the most distinctive cuisine word in Tamworth: 6 of the 154 food premises (3.9%), against 2.5% across the UK, about 1.6 times the national rate. 3 of the 6 are in B79, a district with 28 registered takeaways of every kind. For a Chinese takeaway in Tamworth, that means more near-identical names on the same delivery apps, which makes a page of your own, linked from your Google listing, worth more. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 2 of 154 (1.3%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Where Tamworth's takeaways sit, and how to draw delivery zones

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Tamworth are B77 (33), B79 (28), B78 (2).

100% of Tamworth's food premises sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area, and half are within 0.5 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.

• B77 alone holds 52% of the takeaway premises in Tamworth (33 of 63), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• Tamworth has the number 8 most takeaway premises of the 9 council areas in Staffordshire.

Late-night hot food in Tamworth: 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. Start from the council's licensing section: Tamworth council licensing (checked 13 November 2026).

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.
