With Chinese New Year just days away, many people will be looking for ways to celebrate and welcome the Year of the Snake. Every year people gather to mark the occasion in Newcastle city centre , where the iconic Lion and Dragon Dance Parade makes its way through the city before completing its journey at Stowell Street, the home of Newcastle's Chinatown. This year's event will take place on Sunday, February 2.
The street is also home to many restaurants, providing plenty of choice for those who want to dine out as part of the celebration. Those looking for somewhere to eat may want to check out a restaurant's current food hygiene rating, according to the Food Standards Agency. The Food Standards Agency inspects and rates food and drinks venues between five and zero, with the top score of five being deemed 'very good' and a rating of four being considered 'good'.
Businesses rated a zero out of five for food hygiene must make urgent improvements to the business due to a lack of safety in the way food is prepared. While those given a rating of one have been identified as needing major improvement. Below are the food hygiene ratings for businesses on Stowell Street, Newcastle, according to the Food Standards Agency.
