Tewkesbury's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 807 food businesses of every kind in Tewkesbury: 44 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 166 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The South West has 27 councils on the FSA list, and Tewkesbury sits 24th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (166 against 44), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 103,753, Tewkesbury has 4.2 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, below the UK rate of 9.1 and 6.9 in the South West. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 44 takeaway premises with a published rating, 75% hold a 5 and 4.5% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+13.0 points). In the South West as a whole, 73.3% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Tewkesbury is close to its region.

No takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection, and 22 (50%) 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 Tewkesbury

No single cuisine word (kebab, pizza, Indian, Chinese, Turkish, chicken, peri-peri, shawarma, fish and chip, burger) appears in 10 or more trading names in Tewkesbury, so the market is a spread of independents rather than one dominant style. That favours a menu that is easy to find under its own name.

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.

Trading names in Tewkesbury show a spread rather than a theme: pizza leads with 8 premises (3.8%), in line with the UK's 4.6% (FSA, 13 November 2026). With no dominant style, a kitchen is judged on its own name and menu rather than on its category, so being easy to find under that name is what a direct ordering page adds. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 1 of 210 (0.5%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Tewkesbury compared with elsewhere

• Tewkesbury has the number 6 most takeaway premises of the 7 council areas in Gloucestershire.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 100% of rated takeaways in GL52 hold a 5, against 67% in GL20.
• Cheltenham, 5 miles away, has 95 takeaway premises against 44 in Tewkesbury, so Tewkesbury customers have fewer local rivals.
• Tewkesbury leans towards restaurants and cafés: 3.8 for every takeaway, against about 2.3 across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sit-down kitchens adding collection and delivery are the growth route.
• GL20 alone holds 41% of the takeaway premises in Tewkesbury (18 of 44), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.

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

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Tewkesbury are GL20 (18), GL3 (13), GL52 (8), out of 5 districts with at least one takeaway.

Tewkesbury is spread out: only 31% of premises are within 3 miles of the middle of the area, 97% within 10 and the furthest tenth are over 8.1 miles away. Rural and town-by-town delivery needs separate zones per town, and collection with a time slot often beats long delivery runs. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

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