The rating was released the week beginning June 26, when it was revealed the restaurant’s management of food safety was found to be its worst area and was graded as “major improvement necessary”.

In this category, inspectors assess if there are systems or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat.

An inspector will also expect to see evidence that staff know about food safety and that standards will be maintained in the future.  

Cleanliness and conditions of facilities and building was marked as “generally satisfactory”.

In this area, inspectors are also assessing appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control.

However, hygienic food handling that includes food preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage was found to be “good”.
