What the business says

Following our recent food hygiene inspection, we received a 1-star rating, due to historical issues.

Since the inspection, we have completed a comprehensive action plan to address all matters raised. This has included a full deep clean of the premises, repairs and replacement of equipment where required, enhanced food safety procedures, and additional staff training.

We have implemented all necessary improvements and will be applying for a re-rating inspection, where we look forward to demonstrating the high standards now in place.

We would like to thank our customers for their continued support. We remain fully committed to providing safe, high-quality food and excellent service at all times
