Here are ten Stoke businesses that were awarded a five-star food hygiene rating in the last month. 

The Food Standard Agency (FSA) Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, is aimed at helping people choose where to eat out or shop for food.

The FSA scheme is in partnership with local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

A five-star hygiene rating means 'hygiene standards are very good' for the business. (FSA)

It gives businesses a rating from 0 to 5 - displayed at their premises and online.

A five-star hygiene rating means 'hygiene standards are very good' for the business.

The ten businesses below received a rating of '5' according to the Food Standard Agency website as of 24 February:

  • Angel Inn, Park Street, Fenton. 
  • Brindley Farm, Shelton Boulevard. 
  • M Club, Festival Way, Etruria. 
  • Double J's, Abbots Road, Abbey Hulton. 
  • Above the Tunnel Cafe, Uttoxeter Road, Stoke-on-Trent. 
  • Britannia Pizza and Grill, Hartshill Road, Hartshill. 
  • Fins n Fry's, Wilson Road, Hanford. 
  • Foodez Take-away, Anchor Road, Adderly Green. 
  • India Cottage, Market Place, Burslem. 
  • Smallthorne Oatcakes, Ford Green Road, Smallthorne. 

A food safety officer from Stoke-on-Trent City Council inspected the Stoke businesses to check that they were following food hygiene law so that the food was safe to eat.

At all inspections, the officer checked the following three elements including how hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored.

The physical condition of the business –including cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, pest control and other facilities.

And how the business manages ways of keeping food safe, looking at processes, training and systems to ensure good hygiene is maintained. The officer can then assess the level of confidence in standards being maintained in the future.

The ten listed Stoke businesses were rated five-star based on all these checks.
