Waverley's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,056 food businesses of every kind in Waverley: 57 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 223 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The South East has 64 councils on the FSA list, and Waverley sits 53rd of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (223 against 57), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 137,218, Waverley has 4.2 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 55 takeaway premises with a published rating, 72.7% hold a 5 and 7.3% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+10.7 points). In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Waverley is above its region.

2 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 23 (40%) 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.

Waverley compared with elsewhere

• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 88% of rated takeaways in GU27 hold a 5, against 69% in GU7.
• Waverley and Rushmoor (6 miles apart) are close in size: 57 and 72 takeaway premises.
• Waverley leans towards restaurants and cafés: 3.9 for every takeaway, against about 2.3 across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sit-down kitchens adding collection and delivery are the growth route.
• GU9 alone holds 30% of the takeaway premises in Waverley (17 of 57), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• Waverley has the number 7 most takeaway premises of the 11 council areas in Surrey.

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

The busiest takeaway postcode districts in Waverley are GU9 (17), GU7 (14), GU27 (8), out of 8 districts with at least one takeaway.

Waverley is spread out: only 5% of premises are within 3 miles of the middle of the area, 89% within 10 and the furthest tenth are over 10 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.

Which kitchens are in Waverley

Looking at trading names, Waverley has one cuisine word that appear in 10 or more premises: 13 pizza. This is a rough guide, not a cuisine census.

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.

Indian or curry edges ahead of the national rate in Waverley: 8 of 280 food premises (2.9%), against 2.2% across the UK (FSA, 13 November 2026). 2 of the 8 are in GU7, a district with 14 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 8 rated Indian or curry-named premises, 62% hold a 5, against 72.7% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Waverley. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 0 of 280 (0.0%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Waverley: 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. Start from the council's licensing section: Waverley council licensing (checked 13 November 2026).

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.
