Fifteen Warwick eateries have been given five-star food hygiene ratings in the past two month by the Food Standards Agency.

Working in partnership with local authorities, the FSA scheme gives businesses a rating from zero to five.

A five-star review means the venue's hygiene standards are very good and fully comply with the law.

To get the top rating, businesses must do well in all three elements of an inspection.

This includes how hygienically the food is handled, the physical condition of the business and how the business manages ways of keeping food safe through training and processes.

If the top rating is not given, the inspection officer will explain to the business what needs to change.

Since the start of May 2022, 15 Warwick businesses have received the highest hygiene ratings - no local eateries have received lower ratings in the last two months.

The business are:

1. The Eagle
2. Warwick Street Kitchen
3. Cafe at Market Hall
4. Chesterfields guest house
5. The Globe Hotel
6. Holiday Inn Express
7. Kings Head
8. Woodloes Tavern
9. Park Cottage
10. Premier Inn Warwick
11. Red Hot Mamma Pizzeria
12. Rose And Crown
13. St Michaels Hospital
14. Griffin's Afterschool Club at Aylesford School
15. The Village Chippy

Local councils decide how regularly local businesses are inspected with gaps between visits varying from six months to over two years.

Those that "pose a higher risk" to public health are inspected more frequently.

But with the number of inspections declining during the pandemic FSA Chair, Prof Susan Jebb, said: "Even though there are signs of improvement, particularly on hygiene inspections, local authorities continue to face resourcing constraints which could affect progress.

"We, along with our partners in government, must all make sure that the current challenges in the food system are resolved in a way that puts us on course for a safe, healthier and more sustainable future food system."
