NEW food hygiene ratings have been awarded to eateries in the Dudley borough, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.

Subway, in Forge Retail Park, Dudley Road, Lye, was handed a four-out-of-five rating after assessment on March 1.

And Pizza Go Go, also in Dudley Road, Lye, was given a score of three on March 1.

Meanwhile, The Plough Inn, in Bridgnorth Road, Wollaston, was handed a rating of one after assessment on February 23.

And the cafe at Queens Cross Centre, in Wellington Road, Dudley, was given a score of four on February 23.

The ratings are published on the Food Standards Agency’s website which rates businesses from zero to five so customers can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

A rating of five means hygiene standards are very good, four means hygiene standards are good, three means hygiene standards are generally satisfactory, two means some improvement is necessary, a rating of one means major improvement is necessary and a rating of zero means urgent improvement is required.

People can see the results of all food hygiene inspections via Dudley Council’s website or on the national ratings.food.gov.uk website.
