One to five stars - 25 Bristol pubs, restaurants and cafes get new food hygiene ratings

Dozens of businesses across Bristol have been issued with new food hygiene ratings - including Starbucks in the city centre, a Caribbean takeway in Southmead and the last remaining pub in Hartcliffe.

The Food Standards Agency classes places with ratings from zero (urgent improvement required) to five (hyigene standards very good). It is designed to help people make informed choices about where to buy and eat food - although the ratings do not reflect quality.

The inspectors from the local authority looks at the hadnling of food, how it is stored and prepared and the cleanliness of facilities.

In extreme cases, if an inspector finds there is an imminent risk to public health they have the power to stop part of the operation or close it down entirely until the issues are addressed.
