Three months ago, getwestlondon revealed the west London restaurants, takeaways and shops that had scored zero out of five in the food hygiene ratings.

There were a whopping 46 establishments with a zero rating in Ealing alone, 29 in Westminster and more in further boroughs.

Readers may be pleased to know that in Ealing, that number is now down to 40... While in Wesminster the number has RISEN to 31!

After an eatery receives a zero food hygiene rating, they may apply for a re-inspection to get their score changed.

Three months on from our first article, we decided to check out who has cleaned up their act, and who is still at zero.

How do you get a zero?

A zero is scored if inspectors observe failures including an infestation of vermin, or serious amounts of rubbish and filth.

According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), businesses that score zero tend to have a history of serious problems and are likely to be performing poorly in the three areas food safety officers inspect, which are:

  • How hygienically food is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored.
  • The cleanliness, layout, lighting and ventilation of the building.
  • The systems in place to make sure food is safe for consumption.

Use the searchable tool below to see which food premises have a zero rating for hygiene from the FSA:
