Seaview food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Tendring
Seaview holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the takeaway met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 7 January 2019, more than 7 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.
86% of rated food businesses in Tendring score 4 or 5, so this is a normal, good result for the area. See all Tendring ratings →
