A Windsor restaurant has been told 'major improvements' are needed after receiving a food hygiene rating of one.

Crispy Dosa, in Peascod Street, was awarded the score following an inspection by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead on July 13.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says a rating of one means "major improvement necessary".

In the hygienic food handling category, which covers the preparation, cooking, reheating, cooling and storage of food, inspectors found that improvement was necessary.

Improvement was found to be necessary in the cleanliness and condition of the building, including factors such as its layout, ventilation, handwashing facilities and pest control measures.

The business received its lowest assessment in the management of food safety category, where the report states that "major improvements" were necessary.

This part of the inspection considers the systems and checks in place to ensure food is safe to eat, whether staff have appropriate food safety knowledge, and whether officers are confident standards can be maintained in the future.

Food hygiene ratings range from zero to five, with five representing the highest standard.

The rating reflects conditions observed by inspectors at the time of the visit.

The official Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) ratings are:

  • 5 - Hygiene standards are very good
  • 4 - Hygiene standards are good
  • 3 - Hygiene standards are generally satisfactory
  • 2 - Some improvement is necessary
  • 1 - Major improvement is necessary
  • 0 - Urgent improvement is necessary
