What the business says

The staff have been trained/re-trained/given instruction/are under revised supervisory arrangements.

The conditions found at the time of the inspection were not typical of the normal conditions maintained at the establishment and arose because:

The staff member interviewed was on his second day alone on the premises without our General Manager & Master Fishmonger. While staff are expected to be trained on all requirements of the Food Hygiene Standards, there are some conditions of the report that this staff member was unaware of or unable to provide adequate and reflective information for our business as usual, including:

(1.2-7) Access to our Food Safety Management System. He now has access and is completing the required inputs. We have since shared the link with the latest Food Safety Officer.

5.1-4) Delivery notes, invoices, etc. that provide the traceability of the products are kept on the General Manager for the most recent week, in our off site office for the current quarter and on site for every date otherwise since we started business. As such, the staff member did not have the ability to produce the requested documentation since they were with the GM at the time of inspection, though this is our BAU best practice.

(1.8) We have utilised on site a temperature probe since we opened the shop, thus one will not need to be purchased.

(3.1-2) The sanitizer product we use for cleaning surfaces, Dettol Antibacterial Surface Cleaner, does in fact meet BS EN1276 standards, as documented in several instances.

(4.1) Our staff have access to a hot & cold water tap for handwashing, as well as anti-bacterial hand soap and blue roll towels in the prep area at all times. Given this is a wet room, there is no collection basin. However, there is a clearly designated area for handwashing above a drain that is in constant use. Additionally, the toilet taps do provide hot running water.

(6.1) Per inspection by Islington Council on 06 Feb 2023, a single laminate which documents the labelling requirements is sufficient.
