A pub in a historical Buckinghamshire old town was handed a new food hygiene rating.

The Food Standards Agency inspected businesses in Buckinghamshire, including a pub in Old Amersham.

The FSA inspects food hygiene at cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, takeaways and canteens.

Following an inspection, the businesses get a rating ranging from zero to five, which they can display at the premise and online to help customers decide where to eat and drink.

Zero rating means urgent improvement is required and five means hygiene standards are very good.

The Saracens Head Inn at 38 Whielden Street in Amersham was handed a three-out-of-five rating on April 12.

This means hygiene standards are generally satisfactory.
