What this rating means

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

A rating of 0 (Urgent improvement necessary) is the FSA's lowest rating, indicating serious concerns were found during the inspection. The local authority will have taken steps with the business to address these. This rating may not reflect the business's current standards, particularly if the inspection took place some time ago. Ratings are updated following reinspection.

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 0-star ratings →
