Mirpur food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Cherwell

Mirpur holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The takeaway met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.

The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

The rating dates from 9 March 2026, 4 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

Address: 39 Parsons Street, Banbury, OX16 5NA

What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Mirpur none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

What is Mirpur's food hygiene rating?

A 3 means the takeaway met the legal standard, so it is lawful to eat there, but the inspector recorded issues that stopped it scoring higher. It is the middle of the scale.

When was Mirpur last inspected?

Mirpur was last inspected on 9 March 2026, 4 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Cherwell Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Mirpur?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "generally satisfactory", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "generally satisfactory". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

80% of the 1,221 rated food businesses in Cherwell hold the top rating of 5, while Mirpur holds a 3. 65 places in the area share that rating.

Who decides the rating?

Cherwell Council inspects Mirpur and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
