AN EASTLEIGH fish and chip shop has been given a new food hygiene rating.

Mike's Chippy on Derby Road was given a score of four-out-of-five after the assessment on May 10.

Inspectors found that food hygiene and safety were 'good', which means the restaurant has a "high standard of compliance with statutory obligations and industry codes".

Confidence in management was also rated 'good'.

This includes a "reasonable" record of compliance, technical advice available in-house, or access to and use of technical advice from trade associations.

Structural compliance was rated 'fair', which means there were some non-compliance with statutory obligations and industry codes of recommended practice.

The grading means that of Eastleigh's 72 takeaways with ratings, 44 have ratings of five and none have zero ratings.
