There were 23 places in Three Rivers that recently achieved high or the highest food hygiene ratings before the start of 2022.

While there were many high-scoring eateries and venues in Watford during November and December inspections by the Environmental Health team , there was one retailer that needed ‘major improvement’.

Whereas the places inspected in Three Rivers District Council during the same period were all found to be ‘good’ or ‘very good’ overall.

Inspections are to make sure that food hygiene is up to code and holds good food safety standards.

Ratings on a scale are then issued to rank the hygiene standards at the time of inspection.

Five is top of the scale, meaning the hygiene standards are very good and fully comply with the law and zero is at the bottom of the scale, meaning urgent improvement is necessary.
