Garden centre cafés have become destinations in their own right, serving everything from full English breakfasts to homemade scones and Sunday lunches.
We've rounded up 9 garden centres in and around Leeds with cafés and checked their latest food hygiene ratings.
Issued by the Food Standards Agency, a food hygiene rating aims to give diners clear information regarding the hygiene standards of a food business.
Food businesses are scored on a scale between zero and five where five represents ‘very good’ hygiene standards while zero means ‘urgent improvement’ is required.
The rating covers the handling, storage, and preparation of food, cleanliness of facilities, and how food safety is managed.
