We all want to support our local eateries and cafes, but it's nice to know they've got top marks for their food hygiene when we're spending our money.
Listed below are some of the latest findings by council inspectors, published over the past few weeks.
Thousands of premises across the country are rated by the Food Standards Agency, based on the findings of local authority environmental health inspectors, who work all-year round.
The hygiene standards found at the time of inspection are then rated on a scale from zero to five.
