The Loading Bay Newport receives five star hygiene rating
The Loading Bay, located on Road A in the Wern Industrial Estate, was inspected on March 28. The café was rated very good for hygienic food handling, and good for both the cleanliness and condition of facilities and management of food safety. This means the café has continued to meet the highest standards of cleanliness and food safety. The Food Hygiene Rating Act 2013 requires all food businesses in Wales to display hygiene ratings prominently, and provide the information over the phone if requested. Inspections are carried out by local authority officers, and ratings range from zero, meaning urgent improvement is necessary, to five, meaning standards are excellent. Each inspection is carried out under three categories: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, and management of food safety. Hygienic food handling covers preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage. Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building covers having appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control. Management of food safety 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. In a statement shared on Facebook on March 28, a spokesperson for the Loading Bay said: "We're proud to announce that we've received once again a grade 5 Food Hygiene Rating from the Food Standards Agency. "Congratulations to the whole team." The Loading Bay is a café that is located on the industrial estate. It is open from 9.30am to 5.30pm on weekdays and is closed on weekends. They serve breakfast, lunch, and hot and cold drinks. They also have a pool table, a Nintendo Wii, and an arcade machine for people to use. The café is cash only.
