The latest batch of food hygiene ratings for Romsey and Test Valley restaurants, cafes, takeaways and businesses have been revealed.

Environmental health officers from Test Valley Borough Council have been busy this fortnight visiting businesses across the borough to see if they are meeting hygiene requirements.

Based on guidelines set by the Food Standards Agency, inspectors look to see how clean the facilities are; what food safety management procedures are in place and how hygienic food handling is.

Ratings are then dished out from five to zero — with the higher score the better the result.

The following premises have been rated five — 'very good':

  • N M Catering (South) Ltd at North Bound Lay-By, Franconia Drive, rated 5 on Tuesday, September 16
  • The Kitchen Cafe at Cedar Nursery, Sandy Lane, rated 5 on Thursday, September 11
  • The Old Bell and Crown at Village Street, Hatherden, rated 5 on Tuesday, September 16
  • The Old House at Home at Old House At Home, 62 Love Lane, rated 5 on Tuesday, September 16
  • The White Horse Hotel at The White Horse, 19 Market Place, rated 5 on Friday, September 12.
  • Timaru at Timaru, 106 Greatbridge Road, rated 5 on Monday, September 8.
  • WH Smith at Rownhams West Motorway Service Area, M27 Westbound Service Road, rated 5 on Wednesday, September 10.
