These Sunderland bars, cafes, restaurants and pubs all have two stars or less for food hygiene

We have taken a look at the Food Standards Agency hygiene ratings for Sunderland to see how the city’s bars, cafes, restaurants and pubs rank – and there are a number which fall on the lower end of the scale, scoring one or two out of a possible five. A two-star rating means some improvement is necessary; one star calls for major improvement. The lowest available score is zero, which means urgent improvement is needed. The food hygiene rating or inspection result given to a business reflects the standards of food hygiene found on the date of inspection or visit by the local authority. The food hygiene rating is not a guide to food quality, and is held. Information has been provided by the Food Standards Agency.
