It means that of Bracknell Forest's 135 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 110 (81 per cent) have ratings of five and none have zero ratings.

The scheme gives businesses a rating from five to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so people can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

Five means hygiene standards are very good whereas a rating of zero means urgent improvement is required.
