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 Gerrards 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.

Is Gerrards safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this shop to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Gerrards last inspected?

Gerrards was last inspected on 5 August 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Flintshire Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Gerrards?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "very good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

88% of the 1,212 rated food businesses in Flintshire hold the top rating of 5, and Gerrards is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Flintshire Council inspects Gerrards and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
