<p> While we acknowledge that certain minor lapses were identified during the inspection, we strongly feel that these issues were not of a severity that would justify a hygiene rating. We are particularly concerned that several observations in the inspection report appear to be based on assumptions, using terms such as &ldquo;may be&rdquo; or &ldquo;may cause risk,&rdquo; rather than clear evidence of any immediate or significant risk. Most of the issues raised are structrual instead of food hygine. if there are any serious issues,</p> <p> We have taken the inspector&rsquo;s feedback seriously and have already addressed the points raised. The inspector has visited the premisses again on 18th March and council inspector was very happy with the changes.</p> <p> Inspector say</p> <p> &quot;I was really pleased to see the improvements you have made following my initial visit. Please find attached an updated report marking off the actions that have now been completed as &lsquo;done&quot;. Unfortunately as per council inspector, they cant change the rating for next three month so we have tolive with the rating.</p>
