Questions people ask

Do pubs get food hygiene ratings?

Yes, if they serve food: the council inspects the kitchen and rates it from 0 to 5 like a restaurant’s. A pub that only sells drinks and packaged snacks such as crisps is low risk, so it may be marked exempt instead. 313 of the 615 pubs and bars within 1 mile of the middle of Spitalfields have a rating.

Which pubs in Spitalfields have a 5 for food hygiene?

263 of the rated pubs and bars within 1 mile of the middle of Spitalfields scored 5 at their last inspection. For example Wheelcake Island, The Salad Project and The Golden Heart.

What time do pubs have to close?

There’s no set closing time any more. Since 2005 each pub’s licence from the council says what hours it can sell alcohol, so one pub can shut at 11pm while the one next door stays open past midnight.

Are bars and brewery taps on this list?

Yes: pubs, bars, wine and cocktail bars and brewery taps are all here. Only the ones that serve food will usually have a hygiene rating, so a missing rating doesn’t mean anything is wrong.
