Environmental health inspectors have again been busy assessing conditions at restaurants, pubs, shops and takeaways across the region – today's roundup focuses on restaurants, takeaways and bars in Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall and Cannock Chase.

Ratings reveal marks given out in recent visits to the food places, where they are judged on their standards of 'hygienic food handling', 'cleanliness and condition of facilities and building' and 'management of food safety'.

The ratings provide customers with a snapshot of hygiene standards.

Five is considered ‘very good, four ‘good’, three ‘generally satisfactory’, two ‘some improvement necessary’, one ‘major improvement necessary’ and zero ‘urgent improvement required’.

You can check the food hygiene rating of your local pub, restaurant or takeaway on the Food Standards Agency website. 

These are the latest ratings for December.
