Discover the Isle of Wight’s latest food hygiene ratings – from Very Good to Major Improvement Necessary

It’s a new year and Isle of Wight food hygiene inspectors have been busy.

The latest bunch of restaurants, bakeries, shops and food-producing outlets have all been inspected since the start of the year.

They are judged by the Isle of Wight council’s environmental hygiene inspectors on how clean the establishment is, what conditions are like, how hygienic the food handling is and the food safety management procedures in place.

They are rated on a scale, produced by the Foods Standards Agency, ranging from 0 ‘Urgent Improvement Necessary’ to 5 ‘Very Good’.

Here are the scores on the doors for the latest round of inspections…
