Reopened Forester's Arms gets top marks in Bedford's latest food hygiene scores

If you’re eating out in Bedford – or if you’ve ordered a takeaway – no-one wants an upset stomach.

Well, fear not, as our friends at the Food Standards Agency have released the latest hygiene ratings.

And it’s good news for the newly reopened Forester’s Arms, in Union Street, which is the only business to get five out of five out of the list.

However, three venues – a pub, a restaurant and a takeaway – didn’t fare so well and scored one out of five.

Businesses are given a rating from 0 to 5 which means:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required
