In Newport we're spoilt for choice when it comes to having a bite to eat.
Like most cities, when it comes to food there's a variety of different cuisine on offer, from Thai to Chinese, pizza to kebabs.
But before you walk in the door of any outlet, it's probably a good idea to check the food hygiene rating on the window.
The food hygiene rating, awarded by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), measures the cleanliness of food establishments via visits from an inspector from the council.
According to the FSA website, ratings are given based on the following at the time of inspection:
- handling of food
- how food is stored
- how food is prepared
- cleanliness of facilities
- how food safety is managed
Food hygiene ratings are given between zero and five, with five indicating 'very good' hygiene standards and zero indicating 'urgent improvement is required'.
Here are the Newport establishments with the lowest ratings, according to the FSA.
