A takeaway called Chicken Valley has registered with Haringey's food safety team at 34 Topsfield Parade, on the Tottenham Lane side of Crouch End, and is listed as awaiting its first inspection. That "awaiting inspection" marker is the giveaway of a genuinely new registration rather than a routine return visit, so the shop has come to the council's attention only recently.
Registration is a step towards opening rather than proof of it, and until an inspector calls there is no score to read across from. On a parade where units change hands often, the first rating will say more about the place than the shopfront does.
- Chicken Valley, a takeaway/sandwich shop, is registered at 34 Topsfield Parade, Tottenham Lane, Hornsey, with Haringey as the authority.
- Its hygiene rating is listed as awaiting inspection following a new registration.
