Vale of White Horse's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,068 food businesses of every kind in Vale of White Horse: 74 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 191 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The South East has 64 councils on the FSA list, and Vale of White Horse sits 38th of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (191 against 74), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 152,217, Vale of White Horse has 4.9 takeaway premises per 10,000 residents, below the UK rate of 9.1 and 6.4 in the South East. Commuters and visitors use these premises too, so the ratio is a guide, not a count of customers.

Hygiene results for takeaways

Of 69 takeaway premises with a published rating, 58% hold a 5 and 1.4% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is below the 62% average for England (-4.0 points). In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Vale of White Horse is below its region.

4 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 35 (47%) 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.

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