One Kempston pub and two Bedford takeaways need 'major improvement' in latest food hygiene ratings

Here are the latest food hygiene ratings from the Food Standards Agency (FSA)

It was a mixed bag – admittedly, the majority of restaurants and takeaways in Bedford scored well, but three need ‘some improvement’.

But another three – the King William IV, in Kempston; London Sweet Centre in Bedford; and Zest Pizza, also in Bedford – were told they need ‘major improvement’ in this latest round of inspections by the FSA.

All businesses are given a rating between 0 and 5 which means:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required
