The scores are in — the latest batch of food hygiene ratings for Basingstoke and Deane restaurants and schools have been revealed.

Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council have been busy this fortnight visiting businesses across the borough 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 given from five to zero — with the higher score indicating a better result.

The following premises have been rated five or 'very good':

  • Education Catering at Kempshott Infants School at Old Down Close, Kempshott County Infants School, rated 5 on Tuesday, October 21
  • Education Catering at Kempshott Junior School at Old Down Close, Kempshott Junior School, rated 5 on Tuesday, October 21
  • Educational Catering at St Martins CE Primary School at Stargrove Lane, St Martins Primary School, rated 5 on Tuesday, October 21
  • Pizza Express at PizzaExpress, rated 5 on Tuesday, October 21

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