Check The Score On The Door This Valentine’s Day

Caerphilly County Borough Council is reminding residents to check food hygiene ratings this Valentine’s Day. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme rates food businesses on their hygiene standards, based on inspections carried out by Caerphilly County Borough Council. Businesses in the area are rated on a scale ranging from 0 which means ‘urgent improvement necessary’ to a top rating of 5 which is ‘very good’. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Whether it’s a table at a special restaurant, a visit to the local takeaway or an evening at a country hotel, it’s important to check the score on the door to ensure a memorable Valentine’s Day for all the right reasons. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Cllr. Nigel George, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Public Protection said: “Valentine’s Day is a busy evening for local restaurants, pubs and takeaways. Whether somebody is looking for a romantic candlelit meal, or relaxing takeaway at home, it’s always important to check the food hygiene rating of where your food is coming from. I would encourage residents to look out for the green and black stickers on windows and doors, or check online in advance.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
