The Corn Exchange pub in Newport awarded five stars
The Corn Exchange, located on High Street, was inspected on May 6, 2025, and received the top marks in all areas.
The standards found at the time of inspection were very good in hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and management of food safety.
Food safety officers found that the food was handled hygienically and prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled, and stored correctly.
The cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building, including the layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities, and pest control, were all found to be very good.
The pub also scored very well in the management of food safety, meaning there were systems and checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat.
There was also evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer had confidence that standards will be maintained in the future.
The Food Hygiene Rating Act 2013 became law in Wales on March 4, 2013, requiring all businesses selling food in Wales - including pubs, cafes, restaurants, hotels, takeaways, schools, hospitals, canteens, care homes, and corner shops - to display hygiene ratings in a prominent place, and to provide the information verbally if requested over the phone.
Inspections are carried out by the local authority officers, and ratings - from zero, meaning urgent improvement is necessary or they may risk closure; to five, meaning standards are excellent - are updated on the FSA website.
Businesses have the right to appeal against ratings.
Each inspection is carried out under three categories - hygienic food handling; cleanliness and condition of facilities and building; and the management of food safety, which is defined as the system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat.
