Local food hygiene ratings.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

He's right on the part that the councils are weak and pathetic and don't close places down, in fact they are given the chance to clean the muck up and not fined first time - should be £1000 fine first time and closure for a long period 2nd offence. But it isn't just the foreign ones, there are some English owners that are just as bad so it shouldn't turn into a race thing.

 

 

The council don't make the rules so to blame them is ridiculous and the scheme is not manadatory (although food inspections are)..if they wrongly prosecuted someone they would be sued for a fortune so they have to be very careful and their motive surely has to be to help local businesses to thrive and do all they can to keep them open

Didn't the Church up Hanley score low? Nice place that too

 

Yes it did and no it isnt.

[Yukon]

Why havent these establishments been shut down and given opportunity to put their act in order? Possibly because this Stoke council is weak and too scared too cross our foreign 'freinds'

 

But they dont appear to care too much about the electorate anyway so it shouldnt come as too much of a surprise

 

That is a joke right? Surely no one is that stupid or that pathetically prejudiced?

 

If do you really think like that, you are an awful human being who has no business in a civilised society

I don't agree with much of that I'm afraid. Whoever makes the rules, they are a good idea and just because they didn't make them, doesn't mean they should not enforce them - rigorously and fully.

 

The Police don't make the laws of the land, but would you want the police to stand by and not enforce them if your house was being burgled?

 

No chance of being sued if the food inspectors do their job - take photos of rat droppings, cockroaches and encrusted filth (and that's just what is on the plates at some places - joke- or is it? ). Councils could turn it into a big earner to fund services like they do with motorists and parking/speeding.

 

Motive to keep filth holes open - none. Clean them up or Close them down, keeping peoples infected shops open is not a priority compared to public health and however it is wrapped up as 'struggling local businesses'.

 

It it is far too easy to open and run a cheap, filthy, unsafe and unsanitary place, many of which cater for people too p=ssed to care what they are eating and sell most of their worst muck when the pubs chuck out. Business and profit at all costs for a grabbing few will cost us all later.

Abdullah and Shapla in Leek are two very popular restaurants and their ratings of 1 are a big surprise to me. Similarly Cloves on the Ashbourne Road.

 

Shocked at Cloves. I eat there quite often, they had awards for chef of the year etc

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Lot of kebab houses on the list..send 'em back to Greece i say..coming over here and taking over our chippies. Local fast food emporiums for local people!!

Not suggesting they should not but they can only do what the rules allow them to do and they don't make the rules..you call on them to do this and to do that but the rules don't allow them to, that's my point

 

 

No chance of being sued if the food inspectors do their job - take photos of rat droppings, cockroaches and encrusted filth (and that's just what is on the plates at some places - joke- or is it? ).

 

I suspect some cases are not so obvious and that there are disputes

 

C

I'd rather they see it as an opportunity to turn the business around and help it to be a success rther than us it as a short term money raiser.

 

 

It it is far too easy to open and run a cheap, filthy, unsafe and unsanitary place,

 

I suspect you are right

 

many of which cater for people too p=ssed to care what they are eating and sell most of their worst muck when the pubs chuck out.

 

Customer choice..people know what they are eating is not good for them; buit that's a million miles away for it being unhygienic. The outlet selling supposedly healthy salads could be the most unhygienic place in the world. What's at stake here is not what food is being sold but the conditions in which it's being prepared and sold

I see Tabby's Fast Food of Longport got a ero rating..I dread to think what's in their meat !!!

[For Us All]

Dr.Food in Stoke is also one to avoid,if only for the name?

[Shropshire_Valiant]

On the other hand,I have been to pubs in Leek with high ratings of 4/5 that allow dogs to roam about in the eating areas,how does that work?

 

My guess is it will depend on the kitchen where it's prepared not necessarily where you eat the food?

[sheffvale]

Its not the quality of food that is has zero, but the hygiene of the establishment i.e. food preparations, how they store the food etc.

But with a name like Tabby's I have serious concerns about what's in their meat..miaow!!!!

[carl]

you should be ashamed of yourself

 

What of objecting to the fact we are all going to get food poisoning if the council officials dont do their job properly.

[carl]

I bet most of them have a better grasp of English grammar than you.

 

"Freinds" indeed.

 

I hope your "freinds" give you a severe dose of their"specialities"- seeing as you are too hung up over grammar on what is a football supporter website, and not a "English supriority competition"

 

How petty and narrow minded you are- so sue me.

I would like to see you speak like that to anyone face to face- but I suspect you are too coward to do as such and loves to get his kicks out of rubbishing a perfectly open minded suggestion as to why proper procedures arent carried out, behind the safety of your keyboard.

 

I know that in a "civilised society" establishments have a "duty of care" towards it's customers.
