Business's right to reply
<p> 25/2/26 - I agree with the inspection results but have since carried out the following improvements&nbsp;</p> <p> &middot;&nbsp; The establishment has been thoroughly cleaned and procedures are in place to ensure that cleanliness is maintained.&nbsp;</p> <p> &middot;&nbsp; The establishment has been or will shortly be fully renovated.&nbsp;</p> <p> &middot;&nbsp; The staff have been trained/re-trained/given instruction/are under revised supervisory arrangements&nbsp;</p> <p> We appreciate the council&rsquo;s visit and take food safety seriously. The sole point noted was a sink, which was installed immediately after. We were informed that with that fitted we would&rsquo;ve been a clear 5 rating, all our food safety and hygiene procedures were spot on. However, we were told we must pay &pound;180 for a rescore, which we feel is unfair. Instead, we chose to donate that amount to charity. We remain committed to best practices and disagree with the &pound;180 fee the council request for our score that we deserve.</p>
