Simply Fresh Etwall & Post Office food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · South Derbyshire

The rating: 3 - 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 Simply Fresh Etwall & Post Office 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.
