Namaste Coffee food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Hammersmith and Fulham

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Generally satisfactory
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Generally satisfactory
- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory
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 Namaste Coffee 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 the business says
<p> The business has replied to say that they were short staffed at the time of the inspection and the staff couldn&#39;t keep up with their duties. All issues identified have been addressed, the business has been thoroughly cleaned and the staff have been retrained in Food Safety.</p>
