Concerns were raised about food management before a damning report that led to a celebrity chef’s Liverpool restaurant being slapped with a shocking hygiene rating.
It was revealed in February how Gino D’Acampo’s second venture in the city had been hit with a one out of five hygiene rating after an inspection by Liverpool Council’s environmental health officials in January. Information made available online by the Food Standards Agency said major improvements were needed at the venue at the INNSiDE Liverpool hotel in the former Liverpool ECHO building on Old Hall Street.
Now, an earlier report released to the ECHO under a Freedom of Information request has detailed how the business was warned of improvements it needed to make in terms of how it dealt with food back in September 2022. On that occasion, the restaurant was awarded a three out of five hygiene rating and deemed to be generally satisfactory.
