FOOD HYGIENE RATINGS REVEALED: How clean are food outlets in Northampton's Welly Road?

Here are the 41 businesses in Wellingborough Road that fall under the ‘pub/bar/nightclub’ and ‘restaurant/cafe/canteen’ section on the Food Standards Agency website.

Click here to see how they were all rated by inspectors.

Each business is given a hygiene rating from 0-5 when it is inspected by a food safety officer from the council, and a database is kept by the Food Standards Agency. 


A five-star rating means “very good”, a four-star rating means “good” and a three-star rating is “generally satisfactory”. 


A zero rating signifies “urgent improvement necessary” and a one-star rating indicates “major improvement necessary”. 


Last month we revealed the 4 Northampton businesses which had been given a one-star rating.

The inspection criteria includes: 


•How hygienically the food is handled 


•How it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored

•How hygienically the food is handled 


•How it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored

•The cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities 


•How the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe 


At the end of the inspection, the business is given one of the six ratings from 0-5.
