Most Havering food retailers score highly on food hygiene, but there are a few exceptions.

We have curated a list of those retailers in the borough - excluding supermarkets - that have been given a rating of zero or one by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for their hygiene.

These are the agency's lowest scores.

These ratings only take into account factors like handling, storing and preparing of food, cleanliness of facilities and how food safety is managed on the premises. It is not a comment on the customer service, quality and presentation of food, or comfort of the venue.

The outlets are often also sent guidelines by the FSA to correct any issues within a given period of time.
