A NUMBER of cafés, pubs, restaurants and takeaways across Dorset and west Hampshire have been handed new food hygiene ratings recently.
An Asian takeaway in Lymington which has been told 'major improvement necessary' and a Slug and Lettuce with a top score are included in this week’s round up.
Each week, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) inspects businesses across the country, assessing hygiene and safety, structural compliance and confidence in management.

What each hygiene rating means:
0 - Urgent improvement necessary
1 - Major improvement necessary
2 - Some improvement necessary
