What this rating means

This rating reflects conditions found at the time of the last inspection.

A rating of 1 (Major improvement necessary) means the inspector identified areas requiring major attention at the time of their visit. The local authority will have issued requirements for the business. Ratings change after reinspection, and a business may have improved significantly since this assessment was made.

Food hygiene inspections cover three areas: how food is handled and prepared (hygiene), the physical condition of the premises (structural), and how well food safety is managed and documented (confidence in management). Each is scored independently. Learn more about 1-star ratings →
