New food hygiene ratings have been awarded to two of North Tyneside’s restaurants, cafes or canteens, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows – and it’s good news for them both.

The Hub Cafe At Siena Court, at Siena Day Care Centre, 1 Siena Court, North Shields, Tyne And Wear was handed a five-out-of-five rating after assessment on April 21.

And Nuffield Health And Wellbeing (Restaurant), at Nuffield Health Centre, Gosforth Park Way, Longbenton, Newcastle Upon Tyne was also given a score of five on April 7.

It means that of North Tyneside's 261 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 218 (84%) have ratings of five and none have zero ratings.
