The ratings reflect the standards of food hygiene found on the date of the inspection by the local authority.
It is not a guide to food quality but based on a variety of different components, such as how food is handled in preparation, cooking, reheating and storage.
Inspectors also look at the cleanliness, layout and structure of the building when it comes to lighting, ventilation and how it is managed. A 5-star rating means hygiene standards are very good, while 0 means urgent improvement is required.
