What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Improvement necessary
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Major improvement necessary
- How well they manage food safety Major improvement necessary
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 Alfredos Italian the inspector recorded concerns over how food is handled, the condition of the premises and confidence in management. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.
What the business says
<p class="xmsonormal"> At the time of the inspection, the business was experiencing an unexpected and significant disruption to its management structure.&nbsp; This resulted in an immediate gap in management oversight and, regrettably, a number of food safety management and record-keeping procedures were not being maintained to the standard we expect.&nbsp; Within 48 hours of the inspection, we submitted a formal application for a re-rating inspection, reflecting both the speed with which corrective action was taken and our confidence that the required standards are now being met.</p>

Is this your business?
A rating of 0 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Conwy, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
