Eating out in Bedford or buying a takeaway? Check out the latest hygiene scores

Whether dining out - or indeed in - you certainly need to think about the establishment's hygiene rating.

There's nothing worse than feeling really rotten after a meal you've paid for - so at Bedford Today, we are to help, thanks to the Food Standards Agency

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

So, put your feet up and we'll give you the latest places to avoid - and the ones that definitely cut the mustard.

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
