Christchurch food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Wakefield

Christchurch holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the restaurant are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.

The rating: 4 - Good

The rating dates from 8 August 2024, 23 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.

Address: Unit 45, Xscape, Colorado Way, WF10 4TA

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 Christchurch 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.

What is Christchurch's food hygiene rating?

When was Christchurch last inspected?

Christchurch was last inspected on 8 August 2024, 23 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Wakefield Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Christchurch?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "generally satisfactory". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

Who decides the rating?

Wakefield Council inspects Christchurch and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
