Food Hygiene Rating Scheme Look before you book – food hygiene check alert
Dining out can be a lot less risky if you not only check out the menu, but the food hygiene rating of your restaurant, hotel, or café as well. We are members of the National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme – often referred to as Scores on the Doors – which means we check out the eaterie and score it for hygiene 0-5, so you can see from a sticker on the establishment’s door.
See our Food Hygiene Rating Scheme page.
