The food safety officer found the takeaway required 'major improvements' to its management of food safety and the cleanliness and condition of its facilities and buildings.

It means that of Cherwell's 113 takeaways with ratings, 65 (58 per cent) have ratings of five and just two have zero ratings.

The Food Standards Agency is in charge of inspecting and rating hospitality venues on a zero to five scale, zero is the lowest score and five is the highest.

The inspectors judged the restaurant with regard to hygienic food handling, cleanliness and the condition of facilities and management of food safety.
