A spotless Hampshire country pub has been awarded top marks for its food hygiene for the sixth time in its history.
The Dove Inn, Micheldever Station, received a maximum five-out-of-five score following a visit from Winchester City Council last week.
It means the pub has maintained its impressive result from the last inspection in 2019.
