Curious to see how your favourite restaurant, café or takeaway is rated? Here are all the food hygiene marks in West Norfolk




Every place that serves food is given a hygiene rating up and down the country.

Some have received glowing five out of five ratings, which are classed as ‘very good’ and require no improvement. But this is not the case for all.

On the other end of the scale, some eateries have received a one or zero out of five rating, meaning there is either ‘major’ or ‘urgent improvement necessary’.

On the left are Baytree at Hilgay (top) and Naxos in Downham (bottom) who received five star ratings. Pizza express in Lynn received a two star rating and the India Gate received one star. Pictures: Google Maps

All ratings, issued by West Norfolk Council, are publicly available to view online.

Some of those to have received perfect ratings are Baytree in Hilgay, Giardini Di Naxos in Downham and the King’s Lynn Tandoori.

However, those with lower ratings include Pizza Express in Lynn receiving a two out of five rating and India Gate in Lynn slammed with a one out of five.
