THE first 12 premises to receive Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Food Hygiene Award will be presented with certificates at the Guildhall in Bath on Thursday, June 3.

 

The award is only given to cafes, restaurants, takeaways, pubs and canteens who have demonstrated food hygiene standards that are well above the national standards.

 

Being given the award depends on the premises meeting the relevant standards in areas such as good food hygiene practices, cleanliness, good structural repair, training and hazard analysis.

 

The first 12 award winning premises are:

  • Caffe Uno at the Empire Hotel in Bath

  • Bath Priory Hotel in Bath

  • Bath Spa University College

  • Sodexho Education Services Ltd for Monkton Combe Senior and Junior Schools and Kingswood Senior School

  • The Hilton Bath City Hotel

  • The Globe Inn at Newton St Loe

  • Royal High School Junior School

  • Carfax Hotel in Bath

  • Menzies Waterside Hotel in Bath

  • Avenance PLC for Wessex Water Operations Centre’s canteen in Bath

Kieran Mott, Landlord of The Globe Inn at Newton St Loe, said: “To receive this award is fantastic news and is a great opportunity for the team in our kitchen to show what a brilliant job they do.

 

“It will also be very reassuring to our customers to know that the kitchen where their food is prepared is extremely hygienic.

 

“I think the awards are a great idea and will hopefully set a food hygiene precedent to other businesses in Bath & North East Somerset.”

 

Details about applying for a Food Hygiene Award are available from Food Safety officers when they are conducting their regular inspections. Awards are valid until the next routine inspection and if standards are maintained the awards will be updated.
