Chesterfield takeaway ordered to improve after being handed one-star food hygiene rating

Go Grill, at 33 West Bars, Chesterfield was given the score after assessment on June 16, the Food Standards Agency's website shows.

The takeaway’s hygienic handling of food including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage, as well as the cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, were both rated as generally satisfactory.

But inspectors said major improvement was necessary in the business’ management of food safety – including the system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat and evidence that staff know about food safety.

The hygiene rating scheme is designed to help customers choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving you clear information about the businesses’ hygiene standards.

Inspections are carried out on behalf of the Food Standards Agency by local councils.

The food hygiene rating reflects the standards of food hygiene found on the date of the inspection by the local authority and the rating is not a guide to food quality.

The scheme gives businesses a rating from 5 to 0 which is displayed at their premises and online so you can make more informed choices about where to buy and eat food.

The ratings are:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required
