What the food register shows for Wiltshire

Of the 4,278 food businesses registered in Wiltshire, 293 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 676 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Wiltshire ranks 6th of the 27 councils the FSA lists in the South West.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (676 against 293), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Per head of population that is 5.6 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (526,392 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), below the UK figure of 9.1 and 6.9 in the South West. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 74.4% of the 266 rated takeaway premises in Wiltshire hold a 5 and 1.1% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (+12.4 points). In the South West as a whole, 73.3% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Wiltshire is close to its region.

21 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 115 (39%) 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.

Local patterns in Wiltshire

• Wiltshire has 2.5 times as many takeaway premises as Bath and North East Somerset (115), its nearest neighbour by food-premises centre.
• No postcode district dominates: the busiest, BA14, has only 13% of Wiltshire's takeaways, and 23 districts have at least one. Zones drawn tight around each shop beat a council-wide radius.
• Hygiene ratings differ by district: 86% of rated takeaways in SP4 hold a 5, against 59% in SP1.

Cuisines on the Wiltshire register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), 5 cuisine words reach 10 premises in Wiltshire: 50 pizza, 38 Chinese-style, 35 fish and chip 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 names are the most distinctive cuisine word in Wiltshire: 33 of the 969 food premises (3.4%), against 1.7% across the UK, about 2.0 times the national rate. 3 of the 33 are in SN12, a district with 20 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 30 rated kebab or doner-named premises, 70% hold a 5, against 74.4% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Wiltshire. For a kebab shop in Wiltshire, that means more near-identical names on the same delivery apps, which makes a page of your own, linked from your Google listing, worth more. Chicken or peri-peri names are rarer than average: 6 of 969 (0.6%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

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

By postcode district, BA14 has the most takeaway premises in Wiltshire (38), followed by SN15 (28) and SP4 (22).

Wiltshire is spread out: only 6% of premises are within 3 miles of the middle of the area, 34% within 10 and the furthest tenth are over 20.4 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.

Late-night hot food in Wiltshire: 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. We could not open Wiltshire's licensing page automatically, so ask the council's licensing team for its current process and fees.

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.
