Sunderland City Council food safety inspectors have awarded these businesses four and five-star food hygiene ratings after visiting the venues to carry out assessments.

A five-star rating is top of the scale, and means “the hygiene standards are very good” and fully comply with the law, while a four-star rating means “hygiene standards are good”.
