Two Birmingham venues get one star food hygiene rating as 19 new grades issued

New food hygiene ratings have been awarded to 19 of Birmingham’s establishments, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.

Two eateries in the city have been handed 1 star ratings in the latest round-up of assessments, meaning major improvement is necessary. Food hygiene ratings report on the standards of food hygiene found during inspections by local authority officials.

The scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at premises and online so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food. A 5-star rating means hygiene standards are very good, while 0 means urgent improvement is required.

Venues are marked on a number of factors, including the handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, cleanliness of facilities and how food safety is managed.

Two Birmingham restaurants have been handed 1 stars rating in the latest round-up. They are the Romanian restaurant Cerbul De Aur on Gravelly Lane, Erdington, and the Classic Fish Bar & Kebab House on Dudley Road in Rotton Park.
