Wishfield Honey food hygiene rating

Farmers/growers · Tunbridge Wells

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 28 October 2011, more than 14 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.

How it compares in Tunbridge Wells

That puts Wishfield Honey among the 860 places in Tunbridge Wells holding top marks, 83% 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 Wishfield Honey 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.
