Mounties food hygiene rating

Retailers - other · Cotswold

Mounties holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the shop met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 11 February 2021, more than 5 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.

Address: 41 Mount Street, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1TJ

How it compares in Cotswold

That puts Mounties among the 940 places in Cotswold holding top marks, 93% 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 Mounties 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.

Is Mounties safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this shop to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Mounties last inspected?

Mounties was last inspected on 11 February 2021, more than 5 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Cotswold Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Mounties?

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

93% of the 1,009 rated food businesses in Cotswold hold the top rating of 5, and Mounties is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Cotswold Council inspects Mounties 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.
