The latest food hygiene ratings from around Watford have been released amid a glut of 'very good' scores.

Anywhere serving food must meet the required standards set by local authorities and the Food Standards Agency inspections make sure they do.

Five is top of the scale, meaning the food hygiene is very good, while zero is the worst rating and means urgent improvement is necessary.
