Ten South Tyneside pubs, bars, take-away and restaurants where the food hygiene standards require 'major improvement'

These are the ten South Tyneside pubs, bars, restaurants and take-aways told their food hygiene standards require major improvement.

The national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme is run by the Food Standards Agency in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to provide clear information about the businesses’ hygiene standards.

The scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

5 – hygiene standards are very good;

4 – hygiene standards are good;

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory;

2 – some improvement is necessary;

1 – major improvement is necessary;

0 – urgent improvement is required.

There are currently no 0-rated businesses in South Tyneside, but here are the eight pubs and restaurants rated 1 – major improivement is necesary.
