A TOTAL of 23 food businesses in Redditch have been recognised in a new scheme for consistently achieving high food standards.

The Triple 5 scheme celebrates eateries that gain the top level 5 Food Hygiene Rating and maintain it for at least three inspections – a cycle which takes about six years to complete.

Restaurants, cafes, takeaways and catering vans that achieve Triple 5 status will be sent a letter from Worcestershire Regulatory Services, who carry out food hygiene inspections for Redditch, which they can display to customers.

The following buisnesses have been awarded Triple 5 status:

  • Abbey Hotel, Dagnell End Road, Redditch
