Frequently Asked Questions

What food data can you scrape across the UK?
We scrape restaurant listings, full menu items, prices in GBP, FSA food hygiene ratings, Natasha’s Law allergen data (all 14 allergens), nutritional information, delivery platform listings (Just Eat, Deliveroo, Uber Eats), customer ratings, operating hours, and geo-coordinates with postcode precision across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Grocery product data from Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Ocado, and Waitrose is available on Growth and Enterprise plans.
Does your UK data include FSA food hygiene ratings?
Yes. FSA (Food Standards Agency) food hygiene ratings are a first-class field in our UK schema, covering the 0–5 official scale, the inspecting local authority, and the most recent inspection date. Our pipeline cross-references the FSA’s open data API and matches ratings to restaurant records automatically. Growth and Enterprise plans include monitoring alerts when FSA ratings change following re-inspections.
Does your data comply with Natasha’s Law allergen requirements?
Yes. Our UK allergen data covers all 14 major allergens required under Natasha’s Law (the UK Food Information Amendment 2021): celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya, and sulphur dioxide/sulphites. We distinguish confirmed allergen presence from “may contain” advisory warnings — a critical legal distinction for compliance and consumer safety applications.
Do you cover Just Eat and Deliveroo data in the UK?
Yes. We scrape live menu data, GBP prices, delivery fees, minimum order thresholds, and ETA estimates from Just Eat, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats UK across all UK regions. Platform-specific pricing is a standard field updated near-real-time on Growth and Enterprise plans, enabling you to track the delivery markup above dine-in prices per item per platform.
Can I filter data by UK postcode or local authority?
Absolutely. Geographic filtering is a first-class feature. You can scope data collection to a specific nation (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), region (e.g., North West England), city, local authority district, or individual postcode sector or unit. Postcode-level precision is essential for UK delivery zone analysis, catchment area studies, and FSA compliance monitoring by local authority.
Do you cover grocery and supermarket food data in the UK?
Yes. In addition to restaurant data, we cover the major UK grocery chains including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Waitrose, Ocado, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer Food, and Aldi UK. Grocery data includes product names, barcodes/SKUs, prices in GBP, nutrition labels, allergen disclosures, certifications (Soil Association Organic, Red Tractor, MSC, RSPCA Assured), and availability by store location.
Are prices inclusive of UK VAT?
Yes. Our UK schema includes a vat_status field specifying whether listed GBP prices are VAT-inclusive or exclusive, along with the applicable rate (20% standard, 0% for cold takeaway food under UK VAT rules). This is critical for financial applications, e-commerce platforms, and compliance tools that need to distinguish net vs. gross pricing. Hot food and restaurant dine-in prices are always VAT-inclusive in UK consumer-facing contexts.
Can I track historical UK menu price changes?
Yes. Growth and Enterprise plans include price history in GBP going back up to 24 months. Each price change is timestamped with the platform, location, and item identifier, enabling analysis of post-Brexit inflation, National Living Wage cost pass-through, energy surcharge impacts, and promotional pricing patterns across the full UK restaurant and grocery landscape.
