But the West Midlands, as a whole, is almost bottom of the pile, nationally.

Towns and cities across the West Midlands that scored highest and lowest for their food hygiene ratings were revealed in a report by online training provider High Speed Training.

The report, which analysed Food Standards Agency (FSA) data for over 218,000 food businesses across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, found that, in the West Midlands, the average food hygiene rating across all food establishments was 4.41 from almost 10,000 premises.

That placed the region 10th out of 11 in the national rankings, just ahead of London.
