How Wales compares with the UK
Takeaway density in Wales is 10.0 premises for every 10,000 residents, close to the UK rate of 9.1 (population: ONS mid-2025 estimate, 3,175,181). Ranked against the other 2 nations here, Wales comes 2nd on takeaway density.
Merthyr Tydfil is the most takeaway-dense council area in Wales (13.7 per 10,000 residents) and Monmouthshire the least (6.3).
Rated takeaways that hold a 5: 84.3% in Wrexham, 31.7% in Blaenau Gwent, so the area average of 54.3% hides a 52.6-point spread.
The biggest single market inside Wales is Cardiff with 282 takeaway premises, 9% of the total.
52% of Wales' takeaways were inspected in the last 12 months, compared with 46% nationally.
The most common cuisine words in trading names, as a share of all takeaway and restaurant premises: pizza 1.3% (UK 1.5%); fish and chips 1.2% (UK 0.9%); chinese 0.8% (UK 0.8%). These are name-keyword counts, so they miss shops with other names.
175 postcode districts have at least one takeaway, with the six busiest holding 14%.
| Postcode district | Takeaways | Share of area | Rated 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SA1 | 99 | 3% | 38% |
| CF24 | 79 | 2% | 37% |
| NP20 | 76 | 2% | 54% |
| NP19 | 70 | 2% | 70% |
| CF83 | 65 | 2% | 40% |
| LL18 | 65 | 2% | 67% |

Late-night hot food (11pm to 5am) is handled by each council, so the rules and forms differ between the areas above. Each area page links its own council's licensing page where we found one, and the late night refreshment licence guide covers the general rules.
