The Marlpool Brewery Co food hygiene rating
Manufacturers/packers · Amber Valley
The Marlpool Brewery Co holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the food producer met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 11 February 2019, more than 7 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.

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Very good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Very good
- How well they manage food safety Very 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 The Marlpool Brewery Co 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.
