Six Watford eateries have received the top score in the latest round of food hygiene ratings.
A new addition to Cassiobury Park was among several restaurants and takeaways which scooped 5/5 scores after Watford Borough Council environmental officers visited without notice in recent weeks.
The Cedar Cafe, which took over the former Daisy’s in the Park building from March 1, was rated 'very good' overall based on three categories: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and the management of food safety.
- Cedar Café 'thrilled' after opening in Cassiobury Park
- C’est Juice rated 5/5 for food hygiene months after 2/5 score
Inspectors assessed these categories to give a rating between zero and five, with the lowest meaning 'urgent improvement necessary' and the highest 'very good'. See the latest 5/5 eateries below.
