West Sussex village pub rated zero on food hygiene
A popular West Sussex village pub which scored a ‘zero’ food hygiene rating following an inspection says it has now rectified all problems.
The Three Crowns in Wisborough Green received the low score following an examination by environmental health officers from Chichester District Council in November.
In a report just out, it was stated that the pub required major improvement in food handling hygiene, including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage.
It was also stated that it needed to improve the cleanliness and condition of the pub building and facilities.
Landlord Nick Marshall, who took over the pub in June, said that they had inherited some problems but they had now all been rectified. He said that the report was now two months old. “We appreciate that at the time some paperwork wasn’t available.”
The Three Crowns is rated 4.5 out of five from 117 reviews on TripAdvisor.
In a statement following the zero rating the pub said: “We are of course disappointed with the score awarded to The Three Crowns back in November and took immediate steps to ensure the missing information was made available to Chichester District Council at the earliest opportunity and any outstanding recommendations were actioned.
“We are pleased to say that following a scheduled re-visit by Chichester District Council ‘all matters raised have been actioned’. We have applied for a re-rating and look forward to the new score being issued.”
