Dining out and eating in with confidence hygiene ratings to help you take your pick The menu whets your appetite, the price is right and the decor does it for you, but when it comes to choosing a restaurant, takeaway, shop or cafe, how can you be certain of the standards behind the scenes? The Council inspects kitchens, assesses cleanliness and awards hygiene ratings to almost 800 food outlets in North Kesteven, many of which are listed here. While the scores are not a guide to food quality, they are an indication of food hygiene standards. As well as being printed here, the latest ratings are available online at www.food.gov.uk/ratings and via the new Smartphone app and they should be posted up at the premises to inform your dining out choices this Christmas and into 2013 – but do always check for any updates incase the ratings have been reassessed.
Scan this code to download the new handy phone app for use whenever you want to check hygiene ratings on the move. Or go to www.food.gov.uk/ ratings and follow the links from there.

So what do these scores on the doors actually mean to the man in the street looking in? There are six food hygiene ratings from 0-5 5 shows ‘very good’ compliance with legal requirements and all businesses should be able to achieve this irrespective of their size as it needs no more than full compliance with food hygiene laws. 4 means ‘good’ 3 is ‘generally satisfactory’ 2 means that ‘some improvement is needed’ 1 suggests that ‘major improvement is necessary’ 0 shows that ‘urgent improvement is necessary’ All ratings are published online at www.food.gov.uk/ratings and through the Council website www.n-kesteven.gov.uk Businesses are encouraged to display their certificates and stickers showing their ratings, but are not required to. They can appeal and seek a re-inspection in advance of the next programmed inspection, and as such the ratings published here cannot be relied upon longterm, but they were valid as of Tuesday, November 27, 2012.
