Three Watford eateries have been told they have ‘very good’ food hygiene as a new set of ratings was released.

Inspectors from Watford Borough Council have graded them on hygienic food handling, cleanliness of their facilities and management of food safety.

They gave Jamaica Blue, a café inside atria Watford, a 5/5 rating after being inspected on October 1.

Also receiving 5/5 was The Beech House, a restaurant and bar located at 49 - 51 High Street after a visit on September 20.

Finally, M Bar And Kitchen at Heron Place, Colnebank Drive received the top grade when it was inspected on September 18.

The ratings come after a popular Watford pub also received the seal of approval from inspectors, with The Royal Oak in Watford Heath getting a 5/5 rating last month.

Conversely, Spiceland Kebabish in Whippendell Road was hit with a 1/5 rating, which signifies that 'major improvement' is needed.
