When you eat out, you want to be assured that the café or restaurant you've chosen is clean and well maintained.
That's why it's useful to know how the Food Standards Agency https://www.food.gov.uk/ rates businesses in the district.
The Food Standards Agency scores food serving businesses from zero to five.
The rating is based on hygiene, the condition of the facilities/buildings, and how the business records what it does to make sure food is safe.
