Aruba food hygiene rating

Pub/bar/nightclub · Chesterfield

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 4 May 2023, more than 3 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.

Address: 25 Holywell Street, S41 7SA

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 Aruba 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 Aruba

What is Aruba's food hygiene rating?

Aruba has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Chesterfield Council on 4 May 2023.

Is Aruba 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 pub to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Aruba last inspected?

Aruba was last inspected on 4 May 2023, more than 3 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Chesterfield Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Aruba?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "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 Aruba compare to other places in Chesterfield?

88% of the 870 rated food businesses in Chesterfield hold the top rating of 5, and Aruba is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Chesterfield Council inspects Aruba 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.

Tell me when this changes

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Aruba and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
