The chippy on Wallingford Street opened on March 4 with owner Ahmed Elaboussi stating the response from the public had been "fantastic" at the time. 

Oxford Mail:

The inspectors from the Food Standards Agency based their score on levels of cleanliness, hygienic food handling and management of food safety.

The new rating means that of the Vale of White Horse's 68 takeaways with ratings, 43 have ratings of five and none have zero ratings.
