Inspectors have been busy over the Summer months rating Isle of Wight hotels, cafes and restaurants for their cleanliness – with some faring better than others…
Each food-producing or storing business on the Island is inspected by environmental health officers from the Isle of Wight Council, checking to see how hygienic facilities and conditions are as well as food handling practices and procedures.
Eateries are then ranked from 0 (the worst) to 5 (the best).

The ones that scored zero or 1 should be shut down
The establishments with a 0, 1 or 2 rating should be closed down
with immediate effect.
Well said ,i totally agree ,i forgot to say the 2 star ratings should be shut down in my post
Bengal Palace, I can’t believe people even want to eat there. They mainly survive on their delivery service, and renting the 1st floor rooms out to all sorts of freaks. This isn’t the first time they’ve been given 0 rating. And the guy also owns the Noodle Pot, another rated dump.
see the noodle pot is still the same old dump close it down
A filthy eating place is caused by lazy staff & lazy owners .
