A restaurant that was warned that improvement was necessary after a poor food hygiene rating has now dropped down to the lowest possible score.

The Good Egg was among three that scored 0/5 after inspectors from Camden Council’s environmental health visited - meaning  ‘urgent improvement’ is necessary.

A further nine establishments in the borough scored 2/5 or below – meaning improvement is ‘necessary’ - during inspections between mid-May and the start of June.

But according to the latest data published so far, all eateries inspected in June are either ‘good’ or ‘very good’  - although this is subject to change once further data is published.

The nine venues include:

The store at the Prince of Wales Road in Kentish Town was given a 0/5, with urgent improvement necessary, after an inspection on May 21.

Both the hygienic food handling and cleanliness and condition of facilities needed ‘major improvement’, while the management of food safety required ‘urgent improvement’.
