Top food pub slapped with one-star food hygiene rating
A Michelin-starred pub was given a one-star rating for food after an inspection by environmental health officers in January.
Inspectors found that a vacuum packer was being used to pack raw and ready-to-eat foods, food was being kept in a Hold-O-Mat oven at 62°C - one degree lower than the Food Standards Agency’s minimum temperature of 63°C - at the Cross at Kenilworth in Warwickshire.
There was also no evidence that staff had been trained to correctly use the site’s water bath and no evidence that two members of staff had been trained in the food hygiene matters necessary for their roles, according to environmental health officers.
The Cross owner Andreas Antona said: “We are very disappointed with the score because the whole team takes health, safety and hygiene extremely seriously.”
