A POPULAR chippy has gone from a zero food hygiene rating to a five in just over a month.

The rankings, which are listed on the Food Standards Agency’s website, stated that Crispy Cod on Knowsley Road received the lowest possible result of 0 food hygiene rating in June.

However on Friday, July 26 their new rating of five, the highest possible result, was officially listed on the website.

At the time the venue stated that the low score was down to "building issues" which have since been rectified.

This leaves the borough with only one zero rated venue for 2019 – Renshaws.

Meanwhile, 37 venues received top marks from the FSA in 2019, after being given the highest mark, five, this year.

This means they got the best results in cleanliness and food preparation by inspectors.
