If you wish to see the food safety officer’s report on which this rating is based, you can request this from the local authority that carried out the inspection.

What the business says

High winds overnight had destroyed the tarpaulin over the kitchen, so the time that would have been spent cleaning the kitchen was spent installing a new tarpaulin. No one had been on site for 5 days so the kitchen had been subject to wildlife, wind and rain and all the dust and mud.

The kitchen was cleaned thoroughly before any cooking took place that day, but the inspection happened as I had just finished installing and had not even washed my own hands.

The handwash was not set up at the time of inspection so the photo in the report is of the container that catches the water, not the tap.

NB – as posited in the report - Toilets are cleaned at the end of the day, and never during the day, and this task is only carried out by a manager who does not re-enter the kitchen before going home. Nothing is stored in the toilets, ever.

About comments made by the business

This means a business may draw attention to improvements made since the inspection and/or explain particular circumstances at the time of inspection that might have affected the rating the business was given. The comments made by the business have been reviewed and may have been edited by a local authority food safety officer so they fit the terms and conditions of this website but the accuracy of any statements made has not been verified.
