Wetherspoon pub in Wiltshire learns new food hygiene rating

The Bridge House, at Borough Parade in Chippenham, was visited by inspectors on March 25 and has since been awarded a five-out-of-five rating.

This score is based on the pub’s performance in several important categories.

These include the handling of food on the premises, the cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building, and the staff’s management of food safety.

The Bridge House scored top marks during the assessment after inspectors ranked the business as “very good” at managing food safety and “good” in the remaining two areas.

In the last two years, the venue has also won awards for the quality and cleanliness of its toilet facilities.

The pub’s manager, Christopher Stevens, believes the new rating highlights his staff’s commitment to high hygiene standards.

He said: “We are delighted that we have gained the top rating and I’m sure our customers will welcome the news too.

“Standards of hygiene at the pub are of paramount importance.

“All of the staff work hard to ensure that the pub offers its customers the highest levels of hygiene at all times and we are delighted that our efforts have been recognised with the five-star rating.”
