Good news as food hygiene ratings awarded to two Newham restaurants

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

Al Khalifa, at 35 Balaam Street, Plaistow, London was handed a five-out-of-five rating after assessment on September 14.

And Thai Pie, at 200 The Grove, Stratford, London was also given a score of five on September 7.

It means that of Newham's 575 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 321 (56%) have ratings of five and just three have zero ratings.
