With lockdown restrictions continuing to relax, cafés and restaurants in Leek and the rest of the country will be able to open their doors and serve customers inside from Monday.

Last week we showed you the hygiene ratings of every pub in Leek, and as the town's cafés and restaurants prepare to welcome customers once again, it's always worth knowing how your favourite establishment fared at its last inspection.

Staffordshire Moorlands District Council inspectors ensure safety standards across the borough and dish out a rating to all food venues ranging from 0 (urgent improvement necessary) to 5 (very good).

The ratings cover the areas of food handling, cleanliness of the building and facilities, and food safety management.

We have compiled a list of all of the ratings for every establishment in Biddulph and the surrounding area designated as a café or restaurant on the Food Hygiene Agency website.

Find out how your favourite café or restaurant ranked below.
