davieG Posted 13 September 2014 Share Posted 13 September 2014 Twenty eight food shops, pubs and restaurants in Leicester have scored a big fat Zero when it comes to food hygiene. City health inspectors have told them to take urgent measures to improve or face further action. However two have had to be closed temporarily by the court until they met acceptable standards. Health inspectors said the 28 businesses performed badly in how food was handled, prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored. They also said the structure of the buildings and cleanliness were not up to scratch. The inspections were carried out between October last year and last month and food premises were given a score ranging from 0 - which meant the premises required urgent improvement up to 5 - for very good. Only five premises scored the top mark out of nearly 2,000 rated businesses in the city. All the ratings can be viewed on the Food Standards Agency website but there is no legal requirement to display them in the premises although many do. Now a call has been made that eateries and shops should be made to display their scores by law so customers can see them. Assistant City Mayor Sarah Russell said: “I have been pressing the government to make it a legal requirement for premises to display their food rating at the point of purchase.” The ratings are: 5 – “very good” 4 – “good” 3 – “generally satisfactory” 2 – “improvement necessary” 1 – “major improvement necessary” 0 – “urgent improvement necessary” We attempted to contact all 28 businesses and only four responded. Gul Zada of Romario’s Pizza, Fosse Road North, said: “We were under different management at the time we were visited. It was a bit messed up, basically. We’ve got new management, and it’s all sorted.” The list of city food outlets published on the internet with zero rating were : Al Noor, Madras Road, January 10, 2014 Al Sheikh Halal Meat Centre, Narborough Road, April 28, 2014 Amrit Sweet Centre, Green Lane Road, February 13, 2014 Blue Peters Spice, Law Street, August 5, 2014 China Chef, Hinckley Road, March 5, 2014 City Cafe, Upperton Road, February 26, 2014 Doner Master, Narborough Road, October 16, 2013 Kebabish Original, Uppingham Road, June 3, 2014 Kebabish Original, Belgrave Road, June 2, 2014 Mardin Kebab, Narborough Road, August 12, 2014 Mario’s Chippery, Braunstone Gate, March 21, 2014 Maryland Chicken, Evington Road, July 2, 2014 Mobius, Braunstone Gate, March 7, 2014 Munch Munch, Narborough Road, February 3, 2014 Pak Foods, Uppingham Road, November 18, 2013 Peri-Peri Original, Narborough Road, October 22, 2013 Peri-zza, Victoria Road East, May 7, 2014 Quba Restaurant, Brunswick Street, July 30, 2014 Queens Pizza, Narborough Road, October 15, 2013 Roble’s Cafe, Madras Road, May 29, 2014 Romario’s Pizza, Fosse Road North, July 10, 2014 Sahara Tandoori, Narborough Road, August 6, 2014 Sartaj Sweet Centre, Narborough Road, January 28, 2014 Starz, Narborough Road, April 1, 2014 The Charny Public House, Spinney Hill Road, August 2, 2014 The Delhi Box, Fosse Road North, April 29, 2014 Toro’s Steakhouse, Highfield Street, June 9, 2014 Yummy’s Pizza, Abbey Street, January 30, 2014 These are the latest ratings as published on the Food Standards Agency website.

Rincewind Posted 13 September 2014 Share Posted 13 September 2014 Can't see any near me that I use. Nearest one is Highfield Street and cannot remember going in there. I noticed there are a few in the Naborough Road area. There's one for Brunswick Street I was born in that road. Think the houses have gone.

Vacamion Posted 13 September 2014 Share Posted 13 September 2014 Not surprised most are cheap halal places, another reason why I do to eat the stuff I spent a few weeks working on a roof in the late 80s in the Highfields, we overlooked the back of a halal butchers, operating, as far as I recall, in the back garden of a residential terraced house. Long before the days of EU food safety regulations, they were terrible with hygiene. They all smoked al the time whilst chopping up meat. They used to chuck chickens' innards down the manhole in the back yard (the rats round there were massive). They left slaughtered meat in the open with flies buzzing round. Worst of all, there was an old lady who used to come out first thing and walk around the garden for 10 minutes sniffing up and spitting. She would really hock a loogey. Still, when you are pissed and hungry....who cares where the meat comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
