The scores are in — the latest batch of food hygiene ratings for Winchester restaurants, cafes, takeaways and businesses have been revealed.

Environmental health officers from Winchester City Council have been busy this fortnight visiting businesses across the area to see if they are meeting hygiene requirements.

Based on guidelines set by the Food Standards Agency, inspectors look to see how clean the facilities are; what food safety management procedures are in place and how hygienic food handling is.

Ratings are then dished out from five to zero — with the higher score the better the result.

The following premises have been rated five — 'Very Good':

  • Saskia's B&B, rated 5 on Wednesday, August 13
  • TK Maxx at The Brooks, Middle Brook Street, rated 5 on Thursday, August 7
  • Winchester Baptist Church Thursday Lunch Club at Winchester Baptist Church, Swan Lane, rated 5 on Thursday, August 14
  • Winscombe Care Home on Southwick Road, North Boarhunt, rated 5 on Friday, August 8

Businesses may have been reinspected since and this will be reflected in our next round-up.
