Cleanest Takeaways and Sandwich Shops in Southampton

There are a total of 80 takeaways and sandwich shops that have been given the coveted 'five-star' rating by the Southampton local authority.

An establishment that has been given a 'five-star' rating have 'very good' hygiene standards. It also means that they fully comply with the law.

To get the top rating, the establishment must perform well in three areas. These are:

  • How hygienically the food is handled
  • The physical condition of the business
  • How the business manages ways of keeping food safe

A score is given to an establishment for each of these areas and the scores are then added together to form an overall score.

The lower the score the better the establishment has performed at the time of inspection.

If the establishment has scored between 0 and 15, it will achieve a 'five-star' rating.

A score of zero is the best possible score that an establishment can achieve.

So it's worth keeping an eye out for those establishments in the list below.

Although an establishment can score well in terms of food hygiene, it's only a snapshot in time. But it is the responsibility of the business to comply with food hygiene law at all times.

It is not a reflection of performance in areas such as:

  • Quality of the food
  • Customer service
  • Culinary skill
  • Presentation
  • Comfort

So bear that in mind when considering places to eat.
