Food hygiene inspections can make or break a restaurant. Some places pass with flying colours, while others… not so much.
Coventry’s Food Standards Agency has dished out some low (and even zero-star!) ratings to local takeaways, cafés, and markets. These businesses need major improvements—but is your go-to takeaway on the list?
Let’s take a look at the Coventry food spots with one-star or worse.
