24 Shropshire pubs, restaurants and takeaways celebrate fresh food hygiene inspection results - with many rated five

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has released its most recent batch of hygiene ratings for establishments across Shropshire, covering some of the pubs, cafes, restaurants, and takeaways inspected over the past few weeks.

The majority achieved the coveted five‑star (very good) standard - including new Shrewsbury pub, The Lantern's Protection.

The little pub began serving customers in former dessert shop Sophie's Creperie in June.

Food hygiene ratings between 0 and 5, with 0 being poor and 5 being the best, are awarded by the FSA following inspections.

Restaurants, takeaways and any other establishment that sells food are expected to display the rating in their window where customers can see.
