The worst takeaways across Newcastle upon Tyne by food hygiene rating

After a whirlwind Christmas period, filled to the brim with festivities - many of us will be looking to relax before an equally as hectic New Year's Eve.

Cooking can be one of the first things that goes out of the window as the inner sloth kicks in, due to the time and effort it takes to make a meal from scratch. So many families will be ditching the pans and opting for a cheap and cheerful takeaway instead.

And Newcastle upon Tyne is a hotbed for food and drink - having everything from fast franchises to fine dining - with plenty of choice for your next meal.

One of the first things we tend to look at when choosing to eat at a restaurant is the food hygiene rating, as it can be a real 'make or break' when it comes to consuming. In the ratings, five is a stop score meaning standards are very good, while zero is at the bottom.

And while there are no zero-rated takeaways across Newcastle, there are a few ones and twos to look out for - indicating that improvement is necessary.

Here we take a look at some of the lowest-scoring takeaways in the Toon - looking particularly at those who scored two stars or less. Ratings are correct from the date of inspection and those grades remain until the next check, even if improvements have been made since.
