NEW food hygiene ratings have been awarded to two of Dudley’s establishments, the Food Standards Agency’s website shows.

The King William, a pub, bar or nightclub at 16 Pensnett Road, Dudley, was handed a four-out-of-five rating after assessment on August 28.

And Waterfront Pizza, a takeaway at 181 High Street, Brierley Hill, was also given a score of four on September 17.

The ratings have been 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.
