Rickford Community Association food hygiene rating

Retailers - other · North Somerset

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 29 August 2024, 22 months ago. That is getting on for the longest gap councils usually leave, so the score may not reflect how the business is run today.

How it compares in North Somerset

That puts Rickford Community Association among the 1,162 places in North Somerset holding top marks, 75% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Rickford Community Association none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.
