SCORES on the doors has reveals the latest food hygiene ratings for restaurants and takeaways -  and these are some of the ratings for the last few weeks.

What do the numbers mean?

  • 0 - urgent improvement necessary
  • 1 - major improvements necessary
  • 2 - improvements necessary
  • 3 - business generally satisfactory
  • 4 - business good on assessment
  • 5 - business seen as very good

Each restaurant is also judged on three categories ‘food hygiene and safety’, ‘structural compliance’ and ‘confidence in management’. Each section is awarded a mark from ‘very good’ to ‘very bad’ and for ‘confidence in management’ from ‘high’ to ‘no confidence’.
