Major improvement is necessary at a Carlisle takeaway according to a recent food hygiene inspection.

This comes after several food hygiene ratings were released for businesses in Carlisle recently.

All but two of these were five-out-of-five, and ranged from chain coffee shops to pubs, and fast-food takeaways to sit-down restaurants.

Not quite achieving full marks was the relatively newly formed collaboration between St Nicholas Arms and Alex’s Pasta Par on London Road in Carlisle, which was rated four-out-five on November 15.

Receiving a low grade of one out of five indicating that major improvement is necessary was Mario’s Pizza on Botchergate.

Rated on November 23, the Food Standards Agency said the takeaway’s hygienic food handling was generally satisfactory but determined the cleanliness and condition of the building and facilities required improvement, and the management of food safety required major improvement.
