Food hygiene 2025: Derby establishments handed new food hygiene ratings in March includes new city restaurant

New food hygiene ratings have been awarded to two of Derby’s restaurants, cafes or canteens, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.

The food hygiene scheme or ‘scores on doors’ give establishments a rating from 0 to 5.

The rating is displayed onsite on doors, and online, to enable diners to make informed choices about where they can dine.

Tipu Balti, at 2-6 Curzon Street, Derby was handed a four-out-of-five rating after assessment on March 31.

Claremont House, at 67 Kingsway Boulevard, Derby was also given a score of four on March 28.

It means that of Derby's 307 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 203 (66%) have ratings of five and just four have zero ratings.

What does the food hygiene rating mean?

Ratings are typically given to places where food is supplied, sold or consumed, such as restaurants, pubs and cafes, takeaways, food vans and stalls, hotels, supermarkets, schools, hospitals and care homes.

The hygiene standards found at the time of inspection are then rated on a scale.
