Top north coast restaurant reveals new rating after previous inspection called for ‘major improvements'

Ramore Restaurants Ltd, based at Harbour Road, was awarded a Food Hygiene Rating of just one by Causeway Coast and Glens District Council on April 2. In May, council officials said they were working with the top north coast restaurant to help improve standards, after it received the below-par score. In terms of food and hygiene safety, the earlier report found 'some non-compliance with statutory obligations and industry codes of recommended practice." 'The premises are in the top 50% of premises and standards are being maintained or improved,' it added. However, when it comes to structural compliance and confidence in management, the rating was lower, previously stating 'major improvement necessary' — meaning, according to the Scores on the Doors website, there was a 'general failure to satisfy statutory obligations' and standards were 'generally low' in both categories. Taking to social media, the restaurant, which is due to be one of the most popular spots during The Open next month, announced it had received the highest rating possible in a follow-up inspection. "After weeks of waiting, we are pleased to confirm that we have now regained the highest rating of 5 out of 5 at Neptune & Prawn plus 4 out of 5 at Ramore & The Harbour,' a spokesperson said. 'These scores reflect the standards we've always held ourselves to – and we're so pleased to see that now officially recognised. We remain fully committed to upholding the highest standards of hygiene and food safety, and have implemented additional measures to ensure this. 'We thank our customers for their continued support and kindness.' Previously, the Ramore encouraged punters to book early for the tournament, which will see Masters champion Rory McIlroy return to Northern Ireland. Its website reads: 'When it comes to the place to be during Open week, look no further — Ramore is your one-stop spot for incredible food, drinks and unforgettable vibes. 'Whether you're celebrating a great round or just soaking up the atmosphere, we'll see you here! Who's joining us?'
