Of late there’s been a lot of focus in the Isle of Wight media on the small number of venues on the Isle of Wight that have very low food hygiene ratings.
Examples like Ventnor’s Winter Gardens having a zero rating, or The George Hotel in Yarmouth have a rating of only one.
Focusing only on these could give the impression that Isle of Wight catering businesses weren’t doing well in keeping us safe from the potential of food related illnesses. Happily, the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
Celebrating quality
We at News OnTheWight thought we should celebrate the many, many Island businesses that deal with food here on the Isle of Wight that are doing so well with food hygiene requirements that they’ve been awarded the maximum rating of five out of five.
Over the next five days we’ll be bringing you lists of those businesses, so you can support them with your custom.
We’re starting today with Isle of Wight pubs, bars and clubs that achieved scores 5/5 in food hygiene after the inspections were carried out by the environmental health officers at the Isle of Wight Council.
The Rating date is the last date the inspectors visited the venue to check it. As before, this data is the Food Standards Agency’s.
