The latest round of food hygiene ratings have been issued for Isle of Wight establishments.
It follows inspections by the Isle of Wight Council’s environmental health officers to see just how clean and safe their premises and business practices are.
What ratings are based on
With a possible 60 points spread across three categories, food-serving businesses are inspected and rated based on their hygienic food handling, the cleanliness and condition of facilities and the management of food safety.
The higher the score, the lower the official star rating which ranges from a five of ‘Very Good’, down to a zero where they are slapped with ‘Urgent Improvement Necessary’.
