Food hygiene inspectors appeared impressed with a list of highly-rated eateries across Camden after recent visits.

Environmental health officers from Camden Council gave nearly 20 places visited in October scored the best possible rating.

The Ham & High will begin to log inspections on a monthly basis so that readers can stay up-to-date with their favourite eateries.

Five is top of the scale, meaning the hygiene standards are very good and fully comply with the law, and zero is at the bottom of the scale, meaning urgent improvement is necessary.
