Food hygiene ratings: Banbury takeaways, pubs and restaurants all score top marks in latest inspections
The Food Standards Agency has published the latest food hygiene ratings for businesses in and around Banbury following inspections carried out in September and October.
The latest ratings are good news for Banbury residents as all of the places received the highest score – a five-star award.
The ratings are based on the levels of food hygiene observed during the inspection by Cherwell District Council officers and cover the handling of food, food storage and preparation, facility cleanliness, and the management of food safety, but are not a guide for food quality.
