 According to the Food Standards Agency, no food outlets in the district currently have a food hygiene rating of zero.

Inspectors check the following three elements:

How hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored

The condition of the structure of the buildings – the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, and other facilities

How the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe and so that the officer can be confident standards will be maintained in the future.

Ratings may be made public immediately by the local council, or after a number of weeks.
