Robbored Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Seems impressive but anything under 5 is a fail and comes with advice on how to increase your score. The Agency will then carry out a surprise visit to assess whether or not the original advice had been put in place. I only know because one of our local bowls club scored only 3 and were not allowed to prepare food on the premises….On the surprise revisit they scored a 5 I’m happy to say.

I was told from someone who used to run a pub that you lose 2 stars straight away if you can’t provide necessary paperwork even if you have the cleanest establishment possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Jumbo Raj in Cotham that got a 1 star, only lost 2 points for the pair of underpants in the Chicken Madras, the other 2 for poor paperwork!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god. This will just encourage Junior to shoehorn 5-stars under whatever badge the catering staff wear, it'll be like some sort of 'nod back' to when he had his first Big Mac. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true - my bowls club was inspected and was asked for the relevant paperwork from the previous inspection which had been several years previously. The two ladies who were present weren’t expecting to be asked for the paperwork - luckily the records had been filed away successfully.

A 5 is actually quite difficult to get and does require the highest standards 1 hour ago, GeoTheCiderHead said: I was told from someone who used to run a pub that you lose 2 stars straight away if you can’t provide necessary paperwork even if you have the cleanest establishment possible. You get an instant fail without adequate paperwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Nailsea pubs got a zero rating because the agency inspectors found rat shit in the kitchen…………………. They were unable to save food until they got their house in order. The next inspection earned them 5 stars. I’ve not eaten in there since tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Environmental health turned up one visit they found 50+ bags of food waste hidden in places such as the voids underneath table bench/seats The FSA deserve much credit for unearthing such disgusting hygiene behaviour from whoever owns/runs the establishment. I’m delighted that we have such an organisation to try and safeguard the public from those who try to take shortcuts with food hygiene. Makes me proud to be British. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less would reflect badly on any establishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
