Food Hygiene and Food Safety

We carry out regular checks on all food premises to ensure the public are protected and that high standards are maintained.  Inspections take place without prior warning and higher risk premises are visited more frequently than lower risk premises. 

During the inspection officers will want to be satisfied that adequate controls are in place to prevent any problems, ensure staff are adequately trained and the condition and cleanliness of the premises meets required standards.

Scores are awarded for food hygiene compliance, structural compliance and confidence in management, premises are not rated against the quality of the food they produce.

Check the ratings at the Foods Standards Agency.
