Food Hygiene Rating Scheme

SOTD Stars

Food Safety Rating Scheme

North Norfolk District Council has introduced a 'scores on doors' scheme involving all businesses that serve open food to customers in the area. All catering premises having a food hygiene inspection have been given a star rating to show the level of compliance with food safety legislation. The scores have been calculated from the last inspection.

All star ratings are displayed on the Council's website. The premises may also display their rating by use of a certificate and/or window sticker showing the number of stars received.

Overwhelming evidence suggests that such a scheme will benefit consumers, businesses and the local economy by driving up standards and making North Norfolk a safer place to eat and drink.

Project Aims

The main aim of the project is to improve food safety and hygiene standards among businesses providing food and drink to consumers living in, working or visiting North Norfolk.

The aims of the scheme are:

  • To provide consumers with a user-friendly way to access the information they need to make informed choices about where to eat in the District.
  • To ensure that those food businesses achieving consistently high standards of food hygiene are publicly recognised and rewarded.
  • To encourage food businesses to achieve high standards of food hygiene leading to greater food safety.
To Check The Scores

Go to Scores On The Doors and "find a council" to find North Norfolk's star ratings.
