Bedford takeaway London Sweet Centre turns things around after previous poor rating

It’s that time of the month again when we give you the latest food hygiene ratings – and it’s encouraging news for one takeaway.

According to the Food Standards Agency, the London Sweet Centre – in Bedford’s Ampthill Road – has now been handed a whopping five-out-of-five food hygiene rating after previously being told it needed major improvement.

And, most restaurants and takeaways in Bedford have scored well this time around – which is good news for us.

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
