What the food register shows for Warrington

Of the 1,729 food businesses registered in Warrington, 181 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 373 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Warrington ranks 22nd of the 35 councils the FSA lists in the North West.

Restaurants and cafés (373) outnumber takeaways (181), but takeaways are still about 10% of the 1,729 food premises of every kind that Warrington registers.

Per head of population that is 8.4 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (215,425 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), close to the UK figure of 9.1 and 11.1 in the North West. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 46.1% of the 178 rated takeaway premises in Warrington hold a 5 and 11.8% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (-15.9 points). In the North West as a whole, 54.1% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Warrington is below its region.

3 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 109 (60%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. The share rated 0 to 2 is higher than the England average (5.8%), so a visible good rating on your own site helps. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

Where the takeaways are, and what that means for delivery zones

By postcode district, WA1 has the most takeaway premises in Warrington (54), followed by WA2 (36) and WA5 (36).

Food premises in Warrington are close together: 81% sit within 3 miles of the middle of the area (half are within 1.2 miles). A single postcode-based delivery zone per kitchen works well, and a short collection time is the main selling point. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

Local patterns in Warrington

• Warrington has 2.0 times as many takeaway premises as Halton (90), its nearest neighbour by food-premises centre.
• WA1 alone holds 30% of the takeaway premises in Warrington (54 of 181), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• Warrington has the number 3 most takeaway premises of the 4 council areas in Cheshire.
• Restaurants and cafés here do much better on hygiene ratings than takeaways: 70.7% hold a 5 against 46.1% for takeaways.

Cuisines on the Warrington register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), 4 cuisine words reach 10 premises in Warrington: 25 pizza, 11 Chinese-style, 10 Indian-style and more.

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, kebab or doner is the cuisine word that stands out most in Warrington, a little above the national rate: 12 of the 554 food premises (2.2%), against 1.7% across the UK. 7 of the 12 are in WA2, a district with 36 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 12 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 33% hold a 5, against 46.1% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Warrington. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 8 of 554 (1.4%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

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