A PUB in Worcester has been handed a new food hygiene rating.

The Nightingale, based on Evesham Road in Worcester, underwent a food hygiene inspection by the Food Standards Agency on March 14.

The inspection covered a wide range of areas that included ratings for hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and management of food safety.

The retailer received a good rating for its hygienic food handling and cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, while it was also awarded a very good rating for management of food safety.

This has led to the eatery being given an overall food hygiene rating of five stars - the highest mark that an establishment can receive.
