A Michelin-starred restaurant was wrongly listed as a filthy pub despite achieving a top hygiene rating after a successful re-inspection
Monmouth: So, there’s this Michelin-starred place called The Whitebrook that somehow ended up on a list of the UK’s dirtiest pubs. Crazy, right? It’s all over the news, and honestly, it’s a bit wild considering they just got a top-notch hygiene rating.
They were on this list because they had a poor hygiene score at one point. But after a re-inspection, they turned things around and got a five-star rating. Talk about a comeback!
And get this, The Whitebrook has held onto its Michelin Star for ten years straight. That’s no small feat! They were rated one star back in September, but after the November inspection, they’re shining bright with that five-star hygiene rating.
In Wales, there’s this law that makes restaurants show their hygiene ratings. It’s all about keeping folks informed. If you want to know how a place is doing, you can just ask them over the phone.
Local authorities do the inspections, and they rate places from zero to five. Zero means they need to fix things ASAP, while five means they’re doing great. The Whitebrook is now in the good books for both food handling and cleanliness.
They even scored very well in managing food safety. So, it’s safe to say they’re back on track and ready to serve up some delicious meals without the dirty pub label!
