A NUMBER of cafés, pubs, restaurants and takeaways across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole have been handed new food hygiene ratings recently. 

Three restaurants and takeaways have been told ‘major improvement is necessary’ and the Oceanarium which has been given a top rating 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.

What each hygiene rating means:  

0 - Urgent improvement necessary  

1 - Major improvement necessary
