Here's the latest hygiene scores for Bedford's restaurants, pubs and takeaways

Whether eating out - or in - don't forget to think about the establishment's hygiene rating.

Back in January, we revealed the latest hygiene ratings - but there's been a whole bunch more since then.

Businesses are given a rating from 0 to 5 - and here's exactly what they mean:

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

Let's face it, no-one wants to spend the following morning hugging the toilet, so here's the latest scores on the doors from the Food Standards Agency
