Food Standards Agency: Popular Karen’s Diner among 15 Sheffield restaurants with two-star food hygiene ratings

Sheffield currently has 15 restaurants and cafes with a two-star food hygiene rating. Following inspections from the Food Standards Agency, these venues were told that improvements were necessary to stay in line with relevant food hygiene laws.

Each business has had an inspection carried out by a food safety officer at Sheffield City Council to ensure that they are following food hygiene law so that the food they are serving is safe to eat.

The time between inspections can vary from six months for businesses deemed the highest risk to public health, or two years for those with a lower risk.

The standards fall into three categories: the hygienic handling of food; the cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building; and the system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat.

Food venues are then given an overall food hygiene star rating of zero to five, with zero-star meaning urgent improvement is required, and five-star meaning hygiene standards are very good and they fully comply with the law.

Here is a list of all Sheffield’s current two-star food hygiene rated restaurants and cafes, as of March 7, 2023.
