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

The Timberdine Harvester Inn, based on Bath Road in Worcester, underwent a food hygiene inspection by the Food Standards Agency on April 11.

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

All of these combined meant that it scored an overall food hygiene rating of five stars - the highest mark that an establishment can receive.
