My local Chinese (in Llanberis) is brilliant - cracking food freshly prepared and lovely service from an ever cheerful Chinese woman - reassuringly it scores a 5 Reply to this message | Report message

In fact for the South East it looks like they only cover Dartford, Epsom & Ewell and Reigate & Banstead :( ratings.food.gov.uk/LocalAuthority.aspx?reg=SE Last edited by: Pugugly on Mon 14 Mar 11 at 13:00 Reply to this message | Report message

My local council, Sefton MBC, has a website feature entitled Scores on the Doors. Some of the results of the council's food and safety hygiene staff's investigations into virtually every qualifying establishment are, surprising, to say the least.

Were thinking of going to the local Indian for stepson's birthday this evening. Rating: Stars: 0 Confidence in Management: little Hygiene and Safety: poor Structural: bad Maybe not! Actually I need to check whether it hasn't changed hands since this info was added (September), as we went there a few weeks ago and lived to tell the tale. Quite nice actually.

You can't beat Bina in Caversham for an Indian, Focus. Best in Reddin' I reckon. And I've tried most of 'em...... Reply to this message | Report message

Thanks for the tip - I think I've heard of it before. Advantage of the local is that it's walking distance - Caversham means driving into Reading, which as you know isn't always that much fun, and of course not drinking :( Reply to this message | Report message

In fact looking at the list from 0 stars up I recognize most of the local places we go to eat! Reply to this message | Report message

Indeed. Bina is walking distance for me, happily, as is the also excellent Spice Oven. Along with Myalacarte, Kyrenia, Quattro and Suwanna. Not to mention The Moderation for an excellent pint. Life's pretty good in old Cavvers. Reply to this message | Report message

Two of the Indians (one of which I've patronized regularly) score low numbers. Not too worried. Scarily a school a bit further away scores a 2 and in the same village a butcher scores 1. There is a superb butchers in the next village, the inspectors were there when I called the other afternoon. Last edited by: Pugugly on Mon 14 Mar 11 at 13:29 Reply to this message | Report message

Focus, where are you getting these scores when you said above that there's no info for your area on the OP's link? Reply to this message | Report message

>> Sorry, that was from Stuartli's link. My areas not in that list either. I shall just go by the friends test. If they go to a place and are still alive it must be ok. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Life's pretty good in old Cavvers. Discovered yesterday that the Hills Meadow car park on your side of the river seems to be the only one now that offers free Sunday parking. Cattle Market has joined the ranks of £3 all day. Reply to this message | Report message

Whoops - just looked at the NCP site and it looks like I should have paid £1. That was lucky. Last edited by: Focus on Mon 14 Mar 11 at 14:30 Reply to this message | Report message

very poorly set-up site! - typed in first half of my postcode and it only read the first 2letters and the first number, and gave me a list for a town 50 miles away! so..typed in the name of our town, and it listed eating places ifrom paisley to Monmouthshire! - so i`ve given up! the grub hasn`t killed me yet so what difference does a rating make to me?

Some revealing results in my two areas of interest. I thought it odd that Halfords in Bracknell had a hygiene rating? Perhaps they were looking at the staff facilities for food and drink. A lot of schools had 5* ratings and my local Chinese, where I have never eaten, has 1* so they won't get my trade. Reply to this message | Report message

My local Tesco Express has a rating of 2, compared to Lidl's 5. Even the local Tesco megathing only gets 4. Reply to this message | Report message

Well it is interesting that the local hot food static burger and sandwich bar on our industrial estate scores 4 stars for hygiene. It stands in the yard of the local ice cream company and the council have rated all their ice cream vans for hygiene as well , giving the registration numbers.....most were 4 star rated. Only problem is remembering if the ice cream van you are buying from is the one that got 5 stars or 2 ..... Reply to this message | Report message

The bikers' pub near me (which I have mentioned before on here) received 0 stars. Only 1 star for the chinese takeaway down the street too, oh dear. Daughter's school rates 5 stars though, as does the carvery pub we use occasionally. Last edited by: Dave_TD {P} on Mon 14 Mar 11 at 20:46 Reply to this message | Report message

>> Were thinking of going to the local Indian for stepson's birthday this evening. Rating: >> >> Stars: 0 >> Confidence in Management: little >> Hygiene and Safety: poor >> Structural: bad >> >> Maybe not! By the time I got home it had already been decided that we were having an Indian from the local, albeit in takeaway form. It was very nice, and stepsons who went to collect it were given free beers while they waited. But if I don't post tomorrow... :) Reply to this message | Report message
