Popular chicken shop restored with good food hygiene rating

USA Fried Chicken and Pizza on Corn Street in Witney was handed a one-out-of-five food hygiene rating after a recent inspection.

Now, the eatery has been given a five-out-of-five rating after another inspection.

The eatery, which is popular amongst residents, was given the initial rating after a visit from West Oxfordshire District environmental health officers in July.

But following a re-inspection in September the business was restored with a good score.

The management of food safety at the site was highlighted as a problem with 'major improvement necessary' requested in the hygiene report.

But now inspectors have deemed all aspects of the takeaway as good.

The eatery has long been a favourite of visitors and residents in Witney.

The shop offers a range of meals including chicken, pizza, chips and cheese.
