North Norfolk has just one, the Coast kebab in Cromer, while King's Lynn and West Norfolk had three: Gourmet Plaza in North Lynn, Kebabland in King's Lynn and King's in South Wootton.

In South Norfolk there was just one, the Cherry Tree Public House in Wicklewood, while Breckland and Broadland had none, giving them the cleanest restaurants in the county.

According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), businesses that score zero tend to have a history of serious problems and are likely to be performing poorly in the three areas food safety officers inspect, which are:

•How hygienically food is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored.

•The cleanliness, layout, lighting and ventilation of the building.

•The systems in place to make sure food is safe for consumption.
