The scores are in: Inspectors publish latest food hygiene results in Banbury

The good news is that four of the places received the highest score – a five-star award - and three more scored four.

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.
