A Wirral Indian restaurant has been slapped with a zero food hygiene rating after being told “major improvement” is needed in three areas.
The Indian Hive based on Poulton Road, Wallasey in the Wirral was given the worst possible rating by food hygiene inspectors on April 24 this year.
The takeaway is the latest zero rating given out by Wirral Council’s environment health officers after four other businesses received poor ratings earlier this year.
At the time of the inspection, the council said major improvements were needed in three areas. These were hygienic food handling, the cleanliness and condition of the kitchen, and the management of food safety.
On Google, the business currently has a rating of 4.9 based on 47 Google reviews and a rating of 5 stars on Tripadvisor. The Indian Hive did not provide a response at the time of publication.
