Laleham Health & Beauty Ltd food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · East Hampshire

Laleham Health & Beauty Ltd holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The restaurant met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.

The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

The rating dates from 20 February 2026, 4 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

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 Laleham Health & Beauty Ltd 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.

What the business says

&lt;div&gt; Following the inspection on 20.02.2026, we reviewed the issue identified regarding&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; chilled food being recorded above the recommended temperature.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; During our internal review we identified that, although the refrigerator was set to the&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; correct temperature, the internal temperature was not evenly distributed through the&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; unit. As a result, some areas of the display unit were not maintaining the required&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; temperature when checked with a thermometer.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; As an immediate corrective action, the display unit has been replaced with a new one&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; to ensure consistent and reliable temperature control. The new unit also includes doors&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; which helps maintain a more stable internal temperature and reduces temperature&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; fluctuation during service.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; In addition, we have strengthened our food safety procedures by introducing additional&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; routine checks of chilled food temperature using a probe thermometer. This allows us&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; to verify that the food is consistently stored within safe temperature limits and that&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; equipment is functioning effectively.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; Those measures have been implemented to ensure continued compliance with food&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; safety standards. With the issue now resolved, we remain committed to maintaining the&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; high standards consistently achieved in our kitchen operations over the years.&lt;/div&gt;
