Food hygiene inspectors tell Roxton café "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.
Most restaurants and takeaways scored pretty well – but FSA inspectors told the Little Acorn Cafe, at Roxton’s The Royal Oak, that major improvement was necessary and gave a ONE RATING following their latest visit.
And Clapham business, the Good Chef Chinese Takeaway, only fared a little better with a TWO RATING, meaning some improvement is necessary.
