NEW food hygiene reports have been recently published for restaurants and other venues offering food and drink in Dorset by the Food Standards Agency.
Thousands of premises across the country are rated by the Food Standards Agency, based on the findings of local authority inspectors, who work all-year-round.
The hygiene standards found at the time of inspection are then rated on a scale from zero to five.
Five is top of the scale, meaning the hygiene standards are very good and fully comply with regulations.
Zero is at the bottom of the scale, meaning urgent improvement is necessary.
A number of Dorset businesses have been inspected by council inspectors during December 2020.
Some businesses that had inspections towards the end of December 2020 are currently awaiting their food hygiene ratings.
Here are the latest food hygiene ratings for businesses within the Dorset Council area recently published.
