Premier food hygiene rating

Retailers - other · Thanet

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 19 April 2021, more than 5 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

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 Premier 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.

Questions about Premier

What is Premier's food hygiene rating?

Premier has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Thanet Council on 19 April 2021.

Is Premier 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 Premier last inspected?

Premier was last inspected on 19 April 2021, more than 5 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Thanet Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Premier?

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.

How does Premier compare to other places in Thanet?

96% of the 1,484 rated food businesses in Thanet hold the top rating of 5, and Premier is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Thanet Council inspects Premier 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.
