🏛️ Sources & Methodology
- Restaurant counts & ratings: FSA FHRS + FHIS (Scotland) — queried weekly via official API
- Population data: ONS 2024 mid-year estimates
- Geocoding: postcodes.io (derived from Ordnance Survey OpenData)
- Market size: HMRC business counts + UKHospitality industry reports
- Last updated: 28 September 2026 · Refreshed every Monday 9am UTC
⚠️ Known Limitations
- Some Thai restaurants operate under names not containing "Thai" — we search for 11 major chains by name, but independents with non-Thai names may be missed
- Scottish ratings use Pass/Improvement Required scheme (mapped to 3/1 for numeric comparison)
- City boundaries mapped from Local Authority areas — rural restaurants may be attributed to nearest major town
- ~8% of postcodes could not be geocoded (very new or unusual postcodes)
