Listed below are the latest findings of council inspectors. Hundreds of premises across Andover are rated by the Food Standards Agency, based on the findings of local authority inspectors, who work all year round. The hygiene standards found at the time of inspection are then rated on a scale. Five is the best rating, meaning standards are very good and fully comply with the law. Zero is the worst, meaning urgent improvement is necessary. Inspectors check the following three elements:
How hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored
The condition of the structure of the buildings – the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, and other facilities
