Preston food hygiene ratings: These are the 20 restaurants, takeaways, sandwich shops, mobile caterers, pubs and bars inspected during June and July

Preston food inspectors have been visiting restaurants, takeaways, sandwich shops, mobile caterers, pubs and bars in the city during June and July.

Businesses that serve food are rated on how hygienically it is handled; how it is prepared, cooked, reheated, cooled and stored; the condition of the structure of the buildings; the cleanliness, lay-out, lighting, ventilation and other facilities, as well as how the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe.

A one star rating means "major improvement is necessary", a two star means "some improvement is necessary", three star means "hygiene standards are generally satisfactory", while four star means "hygiene standards are good" and five stars means "hygiene standards are very good".

The rating are those displayed on the government’s food hygiene agency website – on August 2, 2021.

Early this month we also reported on the takeaway and sandwich shops in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble which had been inspected between January and May 2021.
