Food hygiene inspectors tell TWO Bedford takeaways "major improvement necessary"

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has posted its latest food hygiene ratings and it’s not good news for TWO Bedford businesses.

It was a mixed bag this time around for some of Bedford’s restaurants and takeaways – and FSA inspectors gave King Kebab and Vijay Indian, in Tavistock Street as well as AFR, Midland Road, Bedford, a two rating, telling them some improvement was necessary.

Romans Pizza & Peri Peri, in Midland Road, Bedford, fared a little better after going from a previous two rating to a three.
