A Watford burger restaurant has been rated “generally satisfactory” for food hygiene as part of the latest release of results.

BVRGR Co, at 310 Whippendell Road, was given the 3/5 score after environmental officers visited without notice on February 27.

It was one of seven restaurants, cafes and takeaways who have been assessed in recent weeks on three categories: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and the management of food safety.

The scores have been added together to give a rating between zero and five, with the lowest meaning 'urgent improvement necessary' and the highest 'very good'.

Five restaurants were rated 5/5 in the latest data:

  • Boga Steak Grill at 152-154 High Street, inspected on March 22
  • L'Artista Restaurant at 60-60a The Parade High Street, inspected on March 22
  • Nanas at Ground Floor, 129 St Albans Road, inspected on March 26
  • Zoya at 141 Leavesden Road, inspected on March 26
  • My 3 Chickens at 154 St Albans Road, inspected on March 28
