How many takeaways and restaurants Windsor and Maidenhead has

Windsor and Maidenhead registers 1,595 food businesses of every kind with the Food Standards Agency. 109 of them are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 429 are restaurants, cafés or canteens. Among the 64 councils the FSA lists in the South East, Windsor and Maidenhead is number 16 for takeaway premises.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (429 against 109), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Takeaway density: 6.8 premises per 10,000 residents (population 159,776, ONS mid-2025 estimate), below 9.1 across the UK and 6.4 in the South East. Visitors and commuters are not counted in the population, so town centres read high.

Hygiene results for takeaways

91 takeaway premises in Windsor and Maidenhead have a published rating. 79.1% of them hold a 5, against 62% across England (+17.1 points), and 3.3% are rated 0 to 2. In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Windsor and Maidenhead is above its region.

17 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 26 (24%) 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.

The kitchens behind the names in Windsor and Maidenhead

Counting premises whose trading name contains a cuisine word (a rough guide, not a cuisine census), Windsor and Maidenhead has 3 words that reach 10: 18 pizza, 12 fish and chip, 11 Chinese-style.

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.

Windsor and Maidenhead has no standout cuisine word. The most common in trading names is pizza, at 18 of 538 food premises (3.3%), 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: 3 of 538 (0.6%, against 1.8% across the UK). These are name-keyword counts, a floor rather than a census.

Late-night hot food in Windsor and Maidenhead: 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: Windsor and Maidenhead 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.
