Food Hygiene and Safety: Improvement necessary
Structural Compliance: Improvement necessary
Confidence in Management: Major improvement necessary; What the Business Says
 We have had a visit from Action Pest Control and I have provided the report which states there are no current infestation. The area around the soda machine in the cellar has been cleaned and maintained. The business owner has completed his certificate in level 2 food safety in catering and his certificate is displayed on the kitchen door. The kitchen has had a thorough deep clean and since then has maintained to a good standard. The kitchen items are being taken downstairs to the big sink for cleaning before being returned to the kitchen for storage. The fryer has been fixed and is now in good working order. We have an up to date cleaning record that lists daily and weekly cleaning jobs that is now being adhered to. We have daily temperature recording log books that are also being adhered to daily. We have purchased a sanitising cleaning product that is now used after the kitchen has been cleaned with the appropriate cleaner and cloths which are now thrown away after each day and new ones ready for the next day. 8th October 2024

The actual performance of management is scored in on the basis of the results achieved and observed. A management that achieves good food hygiene performance, well understood by the workforce, should have achieved a good score.

Confidence in management is not meant to reconsider this aspect. It is to elicit a judgement on the likelihood of satisfactory compliance being maintained in the future.

Factors that will influence the inspector's judgement include:

the "track record" of the company, its willingness to act on previous advice and enforcement, and the complaint history;
the attitude of the present management towards hygiene and food safety; and
hygiene and food safety technical knowledge available to the company (internal or external), including hazard analysis/HACCP and the control of critical points;
satisfactory HACCP based procedures.

The meanings of the scores are as follows

Very good	Good record of compliance. Access to technical advice within organisation. Will have satisfactory documented HACCP based food safety management system which may be subject to external audit process. Audit by Food Authority confirms compliance with documented management system with few/minor non-conformities not identified in the system as critical control points.
Good	Good = Reasonable record of compliance. Technical advice available in-house or access to and use of technical advice from trade associations. Have satisfactory documented procedures and systems. Able to demonstrate effective control of hazards. Will have satisfactory documented food safety management system. Audit by Food Authority confirms general compliance with documented system.
Generally satisfactory	Satisfactory record of compliance. Access to and use of technical advice either in-house or from trade associations. May have satisfactory documented food safety management system.
Major improvement necessary	Varying record of compliance. Poor appreciation of hazards and control measures. No food safety management system.
Urgent improvement required	Poor track record of compliance. Little or no technical knowledge Little or no appreciation of hazards or quality control. No food safety management system.
