The Food Standards Agency (FSA) uses a scale where any rating below three is considered a failure, making Sea Garden’s rating the lowest possible. The takeaway explained that the inspection took place at 4:30 pm, before the restaurant officially opened at 5 pm. At the time, the staff were still preparing the premises, and crucially, no English-speaking employees were present to communicate with the inspectors.
