Our documented SFBB/HACCP Food Safety Management System has been completely updated for 2026, with rigorous daily cleaning diaries and temperature monitoring logs strictly enforced. Additionally, a clear staff handwash station has been permanently maintained, all historical rating signs have been completely taken down, and a full re-visit application along with the required fee has already been submitted to the council.   The conditions found at the time of the inspection were not typical of the normal conditions maintained at the establishment.  We fully agree with the initial inspection findings but reassure the public that those conditions were highly atypical.
