With all our favourite restaurants closed in the middle of yet another lockdown, we all probably miss a meal out, whether it be fine dining or simply sitting in to eat fast food.
Hygiene has always been an important factor, but once restaurants do reopen once Covid-19 rates fall, it will be at the front and centre of the public mind.
With that in mind, we've compiled a list of the restaurants and cafes with the lowest food hygiene ratings across south east London, featuring those who've been rated "urgent improvement necessary."
The following list, reviewing restaurants in Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich and Lewisham, was calculated on the Food Standards Agency's 0-5 tier system, and features all restaurants featuring on the agency's website listed under '0'.
To be as update to date as possible, the list only includes reviews since the beginning of 2019, up until January 17, 2021.
The agency says '0' ratings = "Urgent Improvement Necessary".
Inspectors from the agency who review food hygiene in restaurants to later apply the ratings check the following three elements:
- How hygienically the food is handled: how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored
- The condition of the structure of the buildings: the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities
- How the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe and so that the officer can be confident standards will be maintained in the future
The below list of '0' and '1'-rated restaurants includes their listed address and the date of their last inspection by the Food Standards Agency.
