Scores on the Doors
Wyre Forest District Council is working with all other local
authorities in Herefordshire and Worcestershire to ensure
consistency and transparency in publishing the scores that food
businesses receive following a food hygiene inspection.
'Scores on the Doors' is a national scheme whereby food businesses
including restaurants, takeaways etc. will be graded from 0 to 5
stars based on the quality of their food hygiene standards. The
star rating will be awarded following an inspection by our
environmental health team and will be available for potential
customers to view on the internet with the business supplied with a
certificate for it to display.
Stars will be awarded on the combined scores for food hygiene
compliance, structural compliance for the premises and confidence
in management of the business. Premises are not rated against the
quality of the food produced. The score is only a reflection of
conditions found on the day and those standards may have improved
or declined since the inspection.
The rating scheme will range from zero to five stars:
| Stars Awarded |
Level of Compliance |
 |
Excellent |
 |
Very Good |
 |
Good |
 |
Broadly Compliant |
 |
Poor |
| No Stars |
Very Poor - Major Improvements Required |
The 'Scores on the Doors' scheme will enable consumers to make
informed choices on places to eat and it is hoped that publication
of these scores will encourage businesses to improve standards
where this is required.

For food businesses that want to improve the star rating awarded
following an inspection, download a
self-audit questionnaire 
(117K) produced by the
Council to help proprietors identify areas where the business may
not be complying with food safety legislation.
