Shropshire food hygiene ratings handed out: One business rated zero, and four rated one
The Food Standards Agency has released a new batch of hygiene ratings for a number of restaurants, takeaways, pubs and bars across Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin.
The latest ratings given out to food businesses in the county show that a number of establishments scored the highest rating of hygiene, but also that one business was given the worst possible rating of zero out of five, and four other places were rated the second worst rating of one out of five.
Ratings reveal marks handed out in recent visits to the food businesses, where they are judged on their standards of 'hygienic food handling', 'cleanliness and condition of facilities and building' and 'management of food safety'.
Sids Plaice at 5 Queensway Drive, Bridgnorth, was given the lowest possible rating of zero in an assessment on May 25, meaning urgent improvement is necessary. This is after it was given a rating of five out of five in its previous hygiene rating in May 2018.
The ratings provide customers with a snapshot of hygiene standards. Five is considered ‘very good', four ‘good’, three ‘generally satisfactory’, two ‘some improvement necessary’, one ‘major improvement necessary’ and zero ‘urgent improvement required’.

Sids Plaice at 5 Queensway Drive, Bridgnorth
