A rating of 2 (Improvement necessary) is the FSA's assessment that certain areas needed attention at the time of the visit. The local authority will have followed up with the business. Ratings are updated after each reinspection, so the date of this rating is an important part of the picture.

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 2-star ratings →
