Questions people ask

Do coffee shops get food hygiene ratings?

Yes. A café or coffee shop is a food business, so the council inspects it and rates it from 0 to 5 like any restaurant. The very lowest-risk places, selling only drinks and packaged snacks, may be marked exempt instead.

Which cafés in Newcastle have the top hygiene rating?

18 of the 34 rated cafés within 1.5 miles of the middle of Newcastle scored 5, “very good”, when they were last inspected. They include Il Panino, Aroma Cafe Bridgend and Corvo Lounge.

What does “awaiting inspection” mean?

A new food business has to register with the council at least 28 days before it opens, and is rated at its first inspection, which can be some weeks after opening. Until then the register shows it as awaiting inspection. 3 of the cafés within 1.5 miles of the middle of Newcastle are in that position.

Where do I find a café’s rating?

On the door or window: in Wales every food business has to display its rating sticker where you can see it before you go in. It’s also on the Food Standards Agency’s website and on each café’s page here.
