Whitland restaurants get 5-star rating
Two food businesses in Whitland have been given top marks for food hygiene.
Roadhouse Restaurant and Café Culture Cymru received the top rating of 5 under the recently introduced Food Hygiene Rating Scheme.
The food hygiene rating or inspection result given to a business reflects the standards of food hygiene found on the date of inspection or visit by the local authority. It is not a guide to food quality.
The information provided on businesses is held on behalf of local authorities participating in the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme Wales.
Daniel Davies of the Roadhouse Restaurant said: “We are very pleased to have achieved the 5 star rating. The scheme is an amazing idea.
“Customers can see exactly what standard a restaurant is up to and it keeps everyone on their toes.”
Roy Eydan of Café Culture Cymru said: “I am very proud that we have had a 5 star rating. To be a successful businessman running a restaurant or café before anything you have to make sure everything is clean. Everyone who comes here knows what we have here.”
The food hygiene scheme will help you choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving you information about the hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways, hotels, and other places you eat out. Supermarkets and other food shops are also included in the scheme.
The scheme is run by local authorities in Wales in partnership with the Food Standards Agency.
Each food business in Carmarthenshire is given a ‘hygiene rating’ when it is inspected by an Environmental Health Officer of the local authority. The hygiene rating shows how closely the business is meeting the requirements of food hygiene law.
When you eat out or shop for food, you might see a sticker in the window or on the door, or a certificate on display, showing you the hygiene rating for that business. Businesses are encouraged to display these stickers and certificates at their premises in a place where you can easily see them when you visit.
A business can be given one of these hygiene ratings: 0, urgent improvement necessary; 1, major improvement necessary; 2, improvement necessary; 3, generally satisfactory; 4, good; 5, very good.
The current scores may be seen on www.food.gov.uk/ratings
Head of public protection Philip Davies said: “The primary purpose of scores is to allow customers to make informed choices where they eat or purchase food from and we hope that this will encourage businesses to raise standards.”
Executive board member for public protection Cllr Pam Palmer said: “I am delighted that these premises in Whitland and other businesses are achieving a 5 star rating.
“This scheme encourages businesses to maintain a high standard of cleanliness as customers now have the ability to check the hygiene rating of premises before deciding whether to eat there or buy food from there.”
