Do you ever wonder how hygienic your local restaurant is?
To see how our environmental health officers rate your favourite restaurant visit the Scores on the Doors website.
Inspection scores and ratings for all food premises inspected since 1 January 2006 are available.
Scores on the Doors aims to give people access to information they have a legal right to see, in an easy and convenient way.
Standards
We routinely inspect food businesses to ensure compliance with nationally set food hygiene regulations.
Each inspection results in the food business being risk rated against these standards:
- Confidence in management - the ability of the food businesses managers to maintain a food safety system of work
- Food hygiene practices - cleaning standards, prevention of cross-contamination, temperature control etc
- Structural compliance - how good the structure and layout is in respect of food safety practice
The scores from this rating are converted to a star rating ranging from 5 stars (excellent) to 0 stars (very poor).
Benefits
We believe that this scheme is beneficial because it:
- provides information to the public in an easy to access and understandable format
- encourages businesses to comply with food safety legislation and raise their standards
- promotes those businesses with high standards
- encourages transparency and consistency
