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 five have “very good” hygiene standards.
Below are the 12 Northampton takeaways, pubs and restaurants that were rated five stars in reports published during the month of December, based on inspections completed in September, November and December.
(The next monthly round-up will be published by Chronicle & Echo at the start of February).
