What the food register shows for Wokingham

Of the 1,134 food businesses registered in Wokingham, 54 are takeaway or sandwich shop premises and 221 are restaurants, cafés or canteens (Food Standards Agency register). For takeaway premises, Wokingham ranks 54th of the 64 councils the FSA lists in the South East.

Restaurants and cafés outnumber takeaways by more than two to one (221 against 54), so sit-down kitchens that also do collection are a big part of the market.

Per head of population that is 2.9 takeaway premises for every 10,000 residents (189,024 people in the ONS mid-2025 estimate), below the UK figure of 9.1 and 6.4 in the South East. Premises also serve commuters and visitors, so busy centres run higher.

Hygiene results for takeaways

On hygiene, 55.8% of the 52 rated takeaway premises in Wokingham hold a 5 and 7.7% sit at 0 to 2; the England average for a 5 is 62% (-6.2 points). In the South East as a whole, 65.5% of rated takeaways hold a 5, so Wokingham is below its region.

2 takeaway premises are shown as awaiting inspection and 28 (52%) had a rating date in the last 12 months. A 5 is not the default here, so a kitchen that holds one can say so on its own ordering page. How hygiene ratings work for takeaways.

Local patterns in Wokingham

• RG40 alone holds 37% of the takeaway premises in Wokingham (20 of 54), so a kitchen there is competing with a dense cluster for the same customers.
• Wokingham has the fewest takeaway premises of the 6 council areas in Berkshire.
• Restaurants and cafés here do much better on hygiene ratings than takeaways: 75% hold a 5 against 55.8% for takeaways.
• Reading, 5 miles away, has 147 takeaway premises against 54 in Wokingham, so Wokingham customers have fewer local rivals.
• Wokingham leans towards restaurants and cafés: 4.1 for every takeaway, against about 2.3 across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sit-down kitchens adding collection and delivery are the growth route.

Cuisines on the Wokingham register

As a rough guide to the mix (trading names only, not a cuisine census), one cuisine word reaches 10 premises in Wokingham: 13 pizza.

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, Chinese or noodle is the cuisine word that stands out most in Wokingham, a little above the national rate: 10 of the 275 food premises (3.6%), against 2.5% across the UK. 4 of the 10 are in RG40, a district with 20 registered takeaways of every kind. Of the 10 rated Chinese or noodle-named premises, 50% hold a 5, against 55.8% of rated takeaways of every cuisine in Wokingham. Kebab or doner names are rarer than average: 0 of 275 (0.0%, against 1.7% 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, RG40 has the most takeaway premises in Wokingham (20), followed by RG5 (11) and RG6 (11).

68% of premises in Wokingham are within 3 miles of the middle of the area and 100% within 10 miles; half are within 2.5 miles. Most kitchens will want two zones, a close one with a low minimum order and a wider one with a higher minimum and a delivery fee. Chefzi's delivery zones are set by postcode or radius, with a minimum order and fee per zone.

Late-night hot food in Wokingham: 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: Wokingham 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.
