Coronation Fish Bar, Coronation Street, was rated five-star for food hygiene in November (Ryan Parker).

A food safety officer from Cheshire East Council inspected the Crewe chip shop and café to check it was following food hygiene law and ensuring the food sold was safe to eat.

At all inspections, the officer checked the following three elements: 

• How hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored
• The physical condition of the business –including cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, pest control and other facilities
• How the business manages ways of keeping food safe, looking at processes, training and systems to ensure good hygiene is maintained. The officer can then assess the level of confidence in standards being maintained in the future.

Café On The Corner and Coronation Fish Bar were rated five-star based on these checks.
