FOOD hygiene ratings have been released for five restaurants and takeaways across Test Valley.

Published by the Food Standards Agency, the ratings range from zero (urgent improvement is required), to five (hygiene standards are very good).

However, it is important to remember that the food hygiene ratings reflect the standards of food hygiene, not food quality.
