A Chinese takeaway has been hit with a low food hygiene score following a recent inspection.

Oriental Kitchen on Sheep Street in Bicester was given two stars out of five following an inspection from the Food Standards Agency on August 8.

A rating of two means "some improvement" is necessary. 

Kevin Fum, who works at Oriental Kitchen, told the Oxford Mail that one of the reasons the takeaway received a low score was due to a water leak and a hole on the roof.

"We are trying to ask someone to come and fix it," he said.

He said the inspector also asked them to change the bottom of the rack holding containers as it was "too old and too dangerous". 

He added that the business is working to resolve the issues before the next inspection.

Businesses are rated on three categories: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building and management of food safety.

Hygienic food handling was rated as 'improvement necessary' whilst the cleanliness and condition of facilities and building and the management of food safety were rated as 'generally satisfactory'.
