Food Hygiene Rating Scheme
This page is about the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme for the business.
Our Food Hygiene Rating Scheme promotes high performing food businesses and enable consumers to make informed choices about where they buy and eat food.
The scheme is run by local authorities in partnership with the Food Standards Agency.
What is the National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme?
It is estimated that currently each year in the UK around a million people suffer a foodborne illness, which leads to 20,000 receiving hospital treatment and 500 deaths. In England and Wales alone, this costs the economy £1.5 billion each year.
The National Food Hygiene Rating scheme will help the public choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving information about the hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways, hotels and other places where food is eaten. Supermarkets and other food shops are also included in the scheme.
The rating does not reflect the quality of food or the standards of service provided to customers.
From December business will be receiving certificates and window stickers to display to customers. The businesses details will also be available on Search for hygiene ratings (Food Standards Agency website).
