West Midlands in numbers

Coventry is the most takeaway-dense council area in West Midlands (13.0 per 10,000 residents) and Solihull the least (4.5).

Inspection recency: 47% of takeaway premises here have an inspection dated in the 12 months to 13 November 2026, against 46% across the UK.
The most common cuisine words in trading names, as a share of all takeaway and restaurant premises: pizza 1.6% (UK 1.5%); fish and chips 1.4% (UK 0.9%); indian 0.9% (UK 0.7%). These are name-keyword counts, so they miss shops with other names.
221 postcode districts have at least one takeaway, with the six busiest holding 11%.

|---|---|---|---|
| CV6 | 137 | 3% | 66% |

Figures come from the FSA register pull of 13 November 2026 and the ONS mid-2025 population estimates. Small areas move a lot between inspections, so read them as a guide, not a verdict on any business.
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.
