The Tickled Trout in Newport gets three-star hygiene rating
The pub, which serves a range of traditional pub food, was told that its facilities, including its layout, ventilation, handwashing facilities and pest control, were "generally satisfactory" at the time of the inspection.
The establishment was also told its preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage of food was "generally satisfactory".
It was also given the same rating for its management of food safety, which checks that food sold or served is safe to eat, that there is evidence staff know about food safety, and that the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in 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, which covers preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, covering including having appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control, 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, evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future.
A spokesperson for The Tickled Trout said: "The recent hygiene score of three stars was primarily due to maintenance work currently taking place in the basement, as well as a water leak from the neighbouring building that caused some damage.
"Additionally, some key documents were digitally available at the time of inspection but had not been physically printed, which contributed to the rating.
"We take food safety very seriously and are highly confident in our practices.
"We have requested a re-evaluation and look forward to receiving a score that properly represents our establishment. "We are actively addressing the issue and expect the necessary repairs to be completed soon."
