Easy Shp 247 food hygiene rating

Distributors/Transporters · Newcastle Upon Tyne

Easy Shp 247 holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the distributor met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 15 March 2026, 4 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

How it compares in Newcastle Upon Tyne

That puts Easy Shp 247 among the 1,894 places in Newcastle Upon Tyne holding top marks, 75% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Easy Shp 247 none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.
