The manager of a newly opened takeaway with a low food hygiene rating said I should try one of the most popular dishes to see what I think. Of course, I could not refuse.
I had visited Grillish on Mansfield Road in Nottingham city centre to speak to the owner or manager about their hygiene rating of 1. Management of food safety was rated 'major improvement necessary', cleanliness and condition of facilities and building was rated 'improvement necessary' and hygienic food handling was rated 'very good'.
When the manager arrived, he invited me into the shop to see what it was like for myself, and to speak in more detail. He told me he learned from what he was told by the inspector, and that missing paperwork and some work taking place on the premises is why the low rating was given, highlighting the 'very good' food handling rating.
