A KIDDERMINSTER town centre pub has been awarded a five-star food hygiene rating.

Staff at The Swan on Vicar Street are “thrilled” with the score after the pub was inspected by the Food Standards Agency last week.

Commenting on achieving the top rating, Laura Capper, general manager of the pub said: “We are very proud of this top rating, the team worked hard to ensure that every aspect of the pub is exactly as it should be, from the food and beverage line-up to the live entertainment and most importantly the health and hygiene standards, the important ‘behind the scenes standards’ that give customers that level of confidence in what we do.

“We are thrilled to achieve five Stars, and I know that our customers will be delighted by the rating too.”

The town centre pub was recently given a fresh new look after external renovation works were completed.
