A Romford Wetherspoons pub has been given a five-star hygiene rating.
The Moon and Stars, in South Street, was awarded the top rating by council inspectors as part of the Scores on the Doors programme, a spokesperson for the pub chain said.
This initiative aims to highlight hygiene standards across pubs, restaurants, takeaways, and clubs.
The Wetherspoons boozer re-opened in October after a months-long closure for refurbishment works.

"Standards of hygiene at the pub are of paramount importance.
"All of the staff work hard to ensure that the pub offers its customers the highest levels of hygiene at all times and we are delighted that our efforts have been recognised with the five-star rating."
