MORE than 30 cafés, pubs, restaurants and takeaways across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and parts of east Dorset have been handed new food hygiene ratings recently.  

A family-run pub with a rating of just two out of five and a Patisserie Mark Bennett with a high score are included in this week’s round up. 

Each week, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) inspects businesses across the country, assessing hygiene and safety, structural compliance and confidence in management. 

Across the UK, every food outlet including convenience stores, restaurants, hospitals and care homes are given a hygiene rating.  

What each hygiene rating means:  

0 - Urgent improvement necessary   

1 - Major improvement necessary   

2 - Some improvement necessary   

3 - Hygiene standards generally satisfactory   

4 - Hygiene standards good   

5 - Hygiene standards very good
