Newbiggin takeaway lands a five-star rating
The Continental in Front Street had been given a temporary one-star rating by the Food Standards Agency and Northumberland County Council after an inspection in December last year found the books were not up to date.
Inspectors allowed the takeaway a month to update its books and it passed with flying colours when it was re-assessed.

Amir has run the shop for around four years and employs four members of staff.
The Continental also delivers fast food, pizzas, burgers, kebabs and kids’ meals, directly to customers’ doors or desks at work.
