16 Southend takeaways have scored the second lowest food hygiene rating during inspections in 2014.
This list features all the businesses that were given a 1 out 5 rating, which according to the Food Standards Agency, means major improvements are necessary. All the takeaways listed were visited by a Southend Council food safety officer in 2014 to check that they met the requirements of food hygiene law.
During an inspection, the food safety officer checks a number of factors including how hygienically food is handled, how food is stored and the cleanliness of the building. The inspection ensures that food hygiene standards meet requirements and the food served to the public is safe to eat.
The worst scoring takeaways are mostly fried chicken shops or Chinese takeaways, but others have made it onto the list including two fish and chip shops on Southend seafront.
Four late-night fried chicken shops in Southchurch Road, popular with people leaving nightclubs, have all made it on to the list with a ‘major improvements necessary’ score of 1.

we went into the royal grill and worst service possible the food was cold and dry we complained and said we wasnt gonna pay the bills cos the food was hardly touched we was threatened with the police there was four of us and even a lady on the next table asked for some more milk for her cup of tea 3 times they ignored her
If you have the means to pay the police will not get involved …it is then uo to the owner to take civil action….if you do not have the means to pay you can be arrested for fraud
i paid for the hardly touched food and of course i had the means to pay i wouldnt have gone in there knowing the poor ratings this place had as we were hungry and everywhere else was busy patrick
Tracy …you can also offer to pay whatever amount you think the meal was worth …the would then have to sue you for the balance.and if your meal was of poor quality they would lose..never accept poor quality or service…too many people do and that is why they get away with it
by law you simply give the reason for not paying and as long as one person in the party has ID irrelevant of how many people are there the owner can take your contact details and choose to take you to small claims court, this happened to us once and the only ID was one lady who had her child benefit book, the police where called and confirmed our rights!! heard nothing…..
Cant believe I ate from royal grill yesterday then find out this clean ur shop up u dirty scum bags
I’m surprised that baileys chippy on seafront is involved even though it’s not my cup of tea
If anyone wants a decent portion of chips like the ones on Canvey then go to The Dolphin on London Road near Army and Navy in Westcliff cause like the Canvey chippies you can feed a whole family with a large portion and I’m pretty certain their hygiene is good.
