What this means

Improvement necessary at last inspection.

The inspector observed problems that need correcting. Expect a follow-up visit. A 2 often indicates either a structural issue (e.g., pest control) or a management gap (e.g., training).

Classified as a takeaway operation. This inspection is fresh, so the picture here should still reflect current practice. Display is voluntary in England, which is why low scorers often skip the window sticker.
