Food & Drink
Hospitality venues like restaurants, bars and pubs are currently closed due to Tier 4 restrictions but can still provide takeaway and delivery services so please visit our Takeaway and Delivery page and continue to support our local businesses.
When it's time to eat out in the Royal Borough, do remember that many of our local restaurants, cafés and pubs will require you to make a reservation and/or leave your contact details for track and trace purposes/check in with the NHS Covid-19 app, so do contact each business individually so you can check out any new ways of doing things. Please be mindful of the latest government advice about Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Don’t forget that in addition to familiar restaurant names we have a tantalising range of independent eateries and hotel restaurants!
Take a look at our Gifts and Experiences Voucher page too; we have some wonderful dining packages which make perfect presents for loved ones. Thank you!

Food Hygiene Rating System
Next time you're dining out or having a takeaway you'll be able to see the hygiene ratings of your local eatery – from fine restaurants to kebab vans – thanks to a new council scheme: The Food Hygiene Rating System.
Places that prepare and serve food are now awarded up to five stars following a food hygiene inspection.
