That's why it's useful to know what the Food Standards Agency makes of businesses across Lancashire.
The Food Standards Agency scores food serving businesses from zero to five.
The rating is based on hygiene, the condition of the facilities/buildings, and how the business records what it does to make sure food is safe.
