A restaurant in Downend has had its hygiene rating upgraded from zero stars to five stars after filing the correct paperwork, it says. The owner said they had forgotten to send back the relevant documents to organise another visit showing the issues had been fixed.
Forage restaurant, located on Badminton Road in Downend, is a new addition to the fine-dining scene having opened late last year, and visitors have been full of praise. However, on December 2, 2021, they received a zero-star hygiene rating, with South Gloucestershire Council saying that there was "urgent improvement necessary".
However, that has now been upgraded to five stars after the issues identified in the inspection were fixed and the correct paperwork was filed with the council, with the owner saying: "We did all the stuff within about two weeks, but we just carried on and forgot about submitting the forms back to [the council]."
