West Oxfordshire's food register in numbers

The Food Standards Agency register has 1,132 food businesses of every kind in West Oxfordshire: 58 takeaway or sandwich shop premises, 249 restaurants, cafés or canteens, and the rest in other categories. The South East has 64 councils on the FSA list, and West Oxfordshire sits 52nd of them for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (249 against 58), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Set against the ONS mid-2025 population estimate of 121,412, West Oxfordshire has 4.8 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 57 takeaway premises with a published rating, 84.2% hold a 5 and 0% are rated 0 to 2. The 5 share is above the 62% average for England (+22.2 points). In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so West Oxfordshire is above its region.

1 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 29 (50%) 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.

Which kitchens are in West Oxfordshire

Looking at trading names, West Oxfordshire 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.

West Oxfordshire has no standout cuisine word. The most common in trading names is pizza, at 13 of 307 food premises (4.2%), close to the UK's 4.6% (FSA, 13 November 2026). Nothing dominates, so a kitchen here competes on its own name and menu; a direct ordering page makes that name easy to find and easy to order from. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 2 of 307 (0.7%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in West Oxfordshire: 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: West Oxfordshire 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.
