Text message service

The results of our Scores on the Doors inspections are available online from the Scores on the Doors website

We also provide material for businesses to display their rating on their window or door.

You can also check to see how well a restaurant or takeaway meets food hygiene requirements by using the Scores on the Doors text message service.

All you have to do is follow these simple steps:

create a new message and type in SOTD
type in the name, or even the first few letters, of the food business you are looking for
add the name of the city, for example, Belfast
send your text to 60060.

For example, the message SOTD MCD BEL will return a result for McDonalds in Belfast.
