A YATE PUB has received a top food hygiene grade. 

The Lawns, based in Church Road, Yate, was handed a five-out-of-five rating after assessment on Wednesday, May 1, the Food Standards Agency's website shows.

Hygiene ratings are scored from 0-5, with five being the highest. 

Food hygiene ratings reflect the hygiene standards which are found on the day of inspection by the local authority - they are not a guide to food quality.
