Eat Out Eat Well
The Eat Out Eat Well scheme rewards restaurants, takeaways and other food businesses and makes it easier for customers to make healthy choices.
With so many people now wanting healthy places to eat, we have invested in this national scheme, supporting local businesses to make positive changes to the food they serve. The businesses are all assessed by our Environmental Health Team, in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council Trading Standards.
During the assessment they look at:
- the way food is prepared
- the ingredients used
- whether there are healthy options for children
- how staff are trained
- and how healthier choices are promoted to customers.
They are then awarded Bronze, Silver or Gold depending on how well they meet the Eat Out Eat Well standards.
