Nellie May's Fish and Chip Company food hygiene rating
Mobile caterer · Swansea

The rating: 5 - Very good

How it compares in Swansea
That puts Nellie May's Fish and Chip Company among the 1,463 places in Swansea holding top marks, 68% 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
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Very good
- How well they manage food safety Good
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 Nellie May's Fish and Chip Company 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.
