The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the food hygiene rating reflects the standards of food hygiene found on the date of the inspection by the local authority. The food hygiene rating is not a guide to food quality.
The agency says the scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0, which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.
According to inspectors, eateries rated two stars show there is “improvement necessary”, one star means “major improvement is necessary” and zero stars means “urgent improvement is necessary”.
A dozen eateries in Northampton were also given the highest food hygiene rating in December 2025. Read more here.
Below are the 11 West Northamptonshire eateries that were rated two stars or below in reports published during the month of December, based on inspections completed in October and November.
