The 17 Preston restaurants, cafes, takeaways, and shops which failed their latest hygiene inspections

Some 17 food outlets across Preston failed their latest food hygiene inspections with a score of one or zero, with these businesses having received the lowest gradings in the Food Standards Agency’s food hygiene rating scheme after inspectors paid unannounced visits.

A score of one star out of a possible five means the establishment needs ‘major improvement’ when it comes to hygiene and food management while, if a restaurant or takeaway is handed the lowest possible score of zero, it means ‘urgent improvement necessary’.

These gradings are essential so customers can have peace of mind that they are eating in an establishment that maintains a high standard of food safety when it comes to preparing, storing, and serving meals.

Here are the 17 Preston restaurants, cafes, takeaways, and shops with a score of one or zero in their latest inspection.
