THERE are 200 restaurants, cafes, takeaways, pubs and bars in Worcester with the highest food hygiene rating – however six businesses in the city have been told that major improvement is needed.

Inspectors from the Food Standards Agency have awarded five-star ratings to 113 restaurants and cafes, 56 takeaways and 31 pubs and bars in the area covered by Worcester City Council, according to the latest results published on the FSA website.

Not a single business in Worcester was given a zero, the lowest rating, but six were graded a one – this means that "major improvement is necessary".

The 'scores on the doors' FSA scheme gives businesses a rating from five to zero which is displayed at their premises and online so consumers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

The ratings are:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required

A FSA spokesman said: "Ratings are a snapshot of the standards of food hygiene found at the time of inspection. It is the responsibility of the business to comply with food hygiene law at all times."

Ratings are based on: handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, cleanliness of facilities, how food safety is managed.

See below for a list of the Worcester businesses which received a five-star rating and those given one.

All information was based on results published on the FSA website as of June 20, 2018. If you disagree with a rating, or believe that your business has been upgraded since receiving the one-star rating listed on the FSA website, please contact the FSA directly.
