Questions people ask

What does a restaurant’s food hygiene rating cover?

The inspector checks three things: how food is handled, prepared, cooked, cooled and stored; the state of the kitchen and building, including cleaning, ventilation and pest control; and how the business manages food safety and keeps its records. It doesn’t judge the taste, the service or the prices, so a small family place can score 5 and a smart one can score 2.

Which restaurants in Machen are rated 5 for hygiene?

19 of the 39 rated restaurants within 3 miles of the middle of Machen had a 5 at their last inspection. Among them: Waunfawr Community Gardening Group, Cwtch Cafe and The Box Diner.

Can a restaurant with a low rating get a better one?

Yes. Once it has put things right it can ask the council to come back and re-rate it, sometimes for a fee, and it can appeal a rating it thinks is unfair. Until a new inspection the old rating stands, so check the date beside each one here.

Do restaurants have to display their hygiene rating?

Yes. In Wales it’s the law: every food business has to show its rating sticker where customers can see it, and takeaways have to mention it on menus they hand out too. You can also look any rating up on the Food Standards Agency’s website, or on each business’s page here.
