Birmingham food hygiene ratings: 25 new ratings handed out

Two eateries in Birmingham have been awarded five stars in the latest food hygiene ratings for restaurants, bars and takeaways across the city.

Food hygiene ratings report on the standards of food hygiene found during inspections by local authority officials.

The scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at premises and online so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

A 5-star rating means hygiene standards are very good, while 0 means urgent improvement is required.

Venues are marked on a number of factors, including the handling of food, how food is stored, how food is prepared, cleanliness of facilities and how food safety is managed.

Two Birmingham eateries - Wickes Building Supplies in Sutton Coldfield and The Cluster Kitchen Sparkbrook - have recently been given five star ratings.
