Methodology & sources
Takeaways is defined by mapping FSA FHRS BusinessType values to the FoodProspect sector taxonomy. Each establishment inherits one BusinessType from its local authority feed; the mapping table is shared across all all 48 ceremonial counties of England.
Aggregates on this page sum establishments classified as Takeaways across England. Where SIC codes align, Companies House registration stats are shown as a complementary source — they are not linked record-by-record to FHRS premises.
Rating activity uses the published date of each establishment's latest FHRS score (30- and 365-day windows). Unlike the French stack (Alim'confiance inspection history capped at 12 months), the UK model stores one current rating per establishment from FHRS with no multi-year inspection archive.
