Food hygiene ratings are important when looking for a place to eat - whether it's a quick takeaway or a full sit-down meal.
Whether it's in the North East or further afield, no matter where you eat, there will be a food hygiene rating for that place.
We have rounded up all of the places in Darlington and the Darlington area that have fallen foul of below-two-star hygiene ratings.

In the North East and North Yorkshire, the vast majority of takeaways and restaurants continue to receive a rating of three or above.
But there are a number that are identified as causes for concern which must either make "urgent" or "major" improvements.
What each hygiene rating means:
0 - Urgent Improvement Necessary
1 - Major Improvement Necessary
2 - Some Improvement Necessary
3 - Hygiene Standards Generally Satisfactory
4 - Hygiene Standards Good
5 - Hygiene Standards Very Good
All ratings are as listed by the FSA on its website at the time of creating this list on Sunday, March 17, 2024.
