A Crewe takeaway has been handed an updated five-star food hygiene rating, according to a recent Food Standard Agency (FSA) report.

The FSA Food Hygiene Rating Scheme is aimed at helping people choose where to eat out or shop for food.

This scheme is in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

A five-star hygiene rating means 'hygiene standards are very good' for the business (FSA).

It gives businesses a rating from 0 to 5 - displayed at their premises and online.

A five-star hygiene rating means "hygiene standards are very good" for the business.

• Babylon/Smash in Crewe - 61 Nantwich Road, Crewe - (29 May, 2025)
