Hylander Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Oh my god that is dreadful. The only good thing is , it cannot get any worse it can only improve. Surely to heavens the local Environmental Officer would close them down if they were that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A few moons ago, we were daft enough to purchase "food" from the awful chippy in Potter Heigham. The service was abysmal and the "food" inedible. Utterly vile...even the seagulls turned their beaks up at it. It was THAT bad. It comes as no surprise, therefore, to learn that the hygeine rating there is also poor. We have never returned and have no intention of doing so in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 We've eaten at the fish and chip restaurant in Potter Heigham only once (about 2 years ago) having been invited to go with friends who used it regularly and thought very highly of it. I wasn't expecting The Ivy or Quaglinos, it was a fish and chip shop. nothing more and nothing less. I had pan fried fish as opposed to battered deep fried which I thought was a very good option to be offered and which was perfectly cooked and delicious, the chips were o.k. too even the wine was the right side of passable. and the service was good. We haven't been back since, no reflection on the establishment , the occasion just hasn't arisen . In our village we have a fish and chip shop owned by the award winning Petrou brothers and I must say that Potter Heigham was infinitely better. the worst \we have ever had was Harry Ramsdens in G. Y. rivalled for ghastliness only by the one on The Street Brundall. Regards, Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I have to say to Carole and Rincwind that the quality of the food, service, etc has nothing at all to do with the Hygine rating. I am sure you are aware of that, but when reference is made to these things when discussing the hygiene rating of an establishment it means nothing at all so should not come into the equation. You could have the most terrible tasting food with a rude service and think to yourself you'd never set food in the door again based upon your experience, but the hygiene of the place might be rated 5. Equally you might have the most lovely food, cooked to perfection with a friendly service and the place have a 0 rating for hygiene. Taking the 'Potter Fish Bar' as an example, In order to only have been awarded a rating of 0 they have: Poor structural compliance - The structure of the establishment (including cleanliness, layout, condition of structure, lighting, ventilation, facilities etc.) Obtaining a bad result here shows a general failure to satisfy statutory obligations – standards generally low. Food hygiene and safety procedures - The food hygiene and safety procedures (including food handling practices and procedures, and temperature control), and, are assessed using the scoring system Obtaining a bad result shows a general failure to satisfy statutory obligations – standards generally low. Confidence in management - The actual performance of management is scored in on the basis of the results achieved and observed. A management that achieves good food hygiene performance, well understood by the workforce, should have achieved a good score. No confidence = Poor track record of compliance. Little or no technical knowledge.Little or no appreciation of hazards or quality control. No food safety management system. So, as you can see behind the rating there is a great deal going on (or not) and it is not just about how food may be kept or prepared but other important factors too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Ok, I have a genuine question. If a pub's only food is chips for example and as such does not have a full set of chopping boards, would that effect his 'rating' ? I had been thinking that if I were to run a pub, I would start off only selling cheese ploughman's lunches. It can be argued that there is nothing in a ploughman's that should be stored in a refrigarator. Would I loose points for not having one? Just wondered.
