OVER 250 pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways across Blackburn with Darwen have been given five-star food hygiene ratings.
This marks an increase over around 40 since last time the Food Standards Agency, which awards the ratings, updated its records in February this year and comes with lockdown restrictions finally starting to ease with people all over East Lancashire returning to their favourite venues.
Lockdown has been hard for pub, cafes, restaurants and all kinds of businesses across the hospitality sector, however with customers finally returning they will hope that better times are on the horizon.
In order to make sure that such outlets are ready, the Food Standards Agency has updated it hygiene ratings on every venue that serves food and drink in Blackburn with Darwen.
It is the responsibility of the business to comply with food hygiene law at all times, however food hygiene rating scheme does not provide information on the quality of the food, customer service, culinary skill, presentation or comfort.
Fortunately inspectors found that over a total of 258 were worthy of a five star rating, meaning that hygiene standards at the venues are excellent and fully comply with the law.
Following some research, we've compiled a list of all the Blackburn with Darwen venues to earn this rating.
All ratings are available to view online on the Food Standard Agency’s website and were correct as of June 6 2021.
