Telford and Wrekin's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,496 food businesses of every kind in Telford and Wrekin: 151 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 473 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The West Midlands has 30 councils on the FSA list, and Telford and Wrekin sits 9th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (473 against 151), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 199,378, Telford and Wrekin has 7.6 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 146 takeaway premises with a published rating, 76% hold a 5 and 2.7% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+14.0 points). In the West Midlands as a whole, 57.8% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Telford and Wrekin is above its region.

5 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 78 (52%) 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.

Which kitchens are in Telford and Wrekin

Looking at trading names, Telford and Wrekin has 5 cuisine words that appear in 10 or more premises: 23 Indian-style, 21 pizza, 18 fish and chip and more. 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.

Indian or curry is the cuisine word that sets Telford and Wrekin apart. It appears in 22 of the area's 624 food premises (3.5%), where the UK rate is 2.2%, or 1.6 times as often (FSA, 13 November 2026). 8 of the 22 are in TF1, a district with 62 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 21 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 71% hold a 5, against 76.0% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Telford and Wrekin. If you run an Indian restaurant 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: 7 of 624 (1.1%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Telford and Wrekin: 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: Telford and Wrekin 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.
