New food hygiene ratings have been awarded to a number of south and west Oxfordshire establishments, according to the Food Standards Agency’s website.

A total of 10 venues were awarded the top score of five stars, which means hygiene standards are "very good".

The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme helps consumers choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving them clear information about a business’s hygiene standards.
