Getting a takeaway in Ripon
Most of Ripon’s takeaways sit within a few minutes’ walk of the Market Place. Kirkgate, the lane that runs from the square towards the cathedral, has pizza, Chinese, Italian and a curry house that has been shortlisted at the National Curry Awards. North Street, Westgate and High Skellgate cover the rest, so collecting on foot from the centre is easy.
The Market Place fills up for the Thursday market and the smaller Saturday one, and every night at 9pm the Ripon Hornblower sounds the horn at the four corners of the obelisk, a custom said to go back to 886. On race days at Ripon Racecourse, between April and September, expect the busiest evenings and longer waits.
Deliveroo doesn’t list any restaurants in Ripon; its nearest coverage is around Harrogate, about 17 km away. When we checked on 31 October 2026, Uber Eats showed only a small number of places for Ripon, many of them pubs, cafés and chains. Ordering direct is the normal way here, and it means the takeaway keeps the whole of what you pay.
Good to know: on Thursday market days the Market Place is full of stalls, so if you’re collecting from Kirkgate or the square, park a street or two away.

Can I get a takeaway delivered in Ripon?

How we choose
We list independent takeaways in Ripon that you can order from direct, either on their own website or by phone. National chains, cafés and delivery-app-only listings are left out, and so is anywhere with a food hygiene rating below 2. Nobody pays to appear, and being listed does not mean a takeaway uses tastie. We checked every listing against its Food Standards Agency record and the takeaway’s own listings (its website, social media page or directory entries) on 31 October 2026. Menus, prices, opening hours and delivery areas can change, so check with the takeaway before you order.
Hygiene ratings come from the Food Standards Agency. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Spotted a mistake, or want your takeaway added or removed? Contact us.
