Chicken Valley, the takeaway at 34 Topsfield Parade on Tottenham Lane in Crouch End, has been inspected by Haringey's food safety team and given a hygiene rating of 4 out of 5 — "good". The inspection was on 28 August.
A rating means an inspector has been through the kitchen, so the unit is trading rather than fitting out. Four is a solid result, and the fifth point is the one worth watching when Haringey comes back. For the parade, a filled unit with a clean bill beats another shuttered frontage.
- Chicken Valley, a takeaway/sandwich shop at 34 Topsfield Parade, Tottenham Lane, Hornsey, holds a food hygiene rating of 4 from a rating date of 28 August 2026, issued by Haringey.
