Our food team regularly inspects food outlets in Norwich, such as restaurants, takeaways and pubs. This is primarily to check their hygiene standards meet legal requirements (food hygiene ratings) but also to show they are offering additional benefits for customers to qualify for one of our business merit awards, eg disabled access.
The results of these inspections are published on this website, for the following reasons:
- So you can make informed choices about where you buy and eat food.
- Ratings encourage food businesses to raise their standards of food hygiene.
- Business merits recognise premises that offer additional benefits for customers.
