How many takeaways and restaurants Vale of Glamorgan has

Vale of Glamorgan registers 1,347 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 128 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 290 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 22 councils the FSA lists in Wales, Vale of Glamorgan is number 12 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (290 against 128), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Takeaway density: 9.5 premises per 10,000 residents (population 135,362, ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to 9.1 across the UK. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.

Hygiene results for takeaways

112 takeaway premises in Vale of Glamorgan have a published rating. 52.7% of them hold a 5, against 54.3% across Wales, and 3.6% are rated 0 to 2.

15 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 70 (55%) 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.

The kitchens behind the names in Vale of Glamorgan

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Vale of Glamorgan has 2 words that reach 10: 17 pizza, 13 fish and chip.

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, no cuisine word stands out in Vale of Glamorgan: the most common is pizza, with 17 of the 418 food premises (4.1%), against 4.6% across the UK, close to the national rate. Without one dominant style, customers search for a kitchen by name, so a page of your own that comes up under that name is worth more than a category listing. Kebab or doner names are rarer than average: 4 of 418 (1.0%, against 1.7% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

What stands out in Vale of Glamorgan

• Vale of Glamorgan has the number 6 most takeaway premises of the 10 council areas in South East Wales.
• 12% of takeaway premises (15) are still awaiting their first inspection, which usually means recent openings, so new competitors are arriving.

Late-night hot food in Vale of Glamorgan: 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. Vale of Glamorgan's council publishes its process here: Vale of Glamorgan 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.
