The seaside town of South Shields has an array for restaurants serving up a variety of cuisines. Whether you’re after British, Indian, Italian or Turkish food, South Shields has you covered.
Each restaurant has been given a food hygiene rating by the Food Standards Agency, listed below. The Food Standards Agency inspects and rates food and drinks venues between five and zero, with the top score of five being deemed ‘very good’ and a rating of four being considered ‘good’.
Businesses rated a zero out of five for food hygiene must make urgent improvements to the business due to a lack of safety in the way food is prepared. While those given a rating of one have been identified as needing major improvement.
