Now that we are able to enjoy al-fresco dining at some of Biddulph's fine pubs, with indoor dining returning to all pubs later this month, it's important to know where you will find the best standards in terms of food hygiene.

Staffordshire Moorlands District Council inspectors ensure safety standards across the borough and dish out a rating to all food venues ranging from 0 (urgent improvement necessary) to 5 (very good).

The ratings cover the areas of food handling, cleanliness of the building and facilities, and food safety management.

We have compiled a list of all of the ratings for every establishment in Biddulph and the surrounding area designated as a 'pub/bar/nightclub' on the Food Hygiene Agency website.

So without further ado, here are all of the Biddulph pubs and their hygiene ratings. Find out how your favourite pub ranked below.
