Wetherspoon pub celebrates five-star rating

A pub in Gloucestershire has gained top marks for its levels of hygiene thanks to a Scores on the Doors programme run by Tewkesbury Borough Council.

The Royal Hop Pole off Church Street in Tewkesbury. a Wetherspoon pub, was awarded a five-star rating by the council's inspectors as the programme aims to highlight hygiene standards in pubs, restaurants, take-aways and clubs across the borough.

Inspectors judge outlets on how hygienic and well-managed the food preparation at the premises is and each business is benchmarked against the same criteria namely: hygiene, structural and confidence in management.
