This is our service for new businesses or new locations of existing food-related businesses. We help ensure that you will get a great food hygiene rating on your first inspection by our Safety Environmental Health Inspectors.

For a new start-up business, we will visit you and complete a full report telling you what to do before you open in order to achieve a 5 star Food Hygiene rating at your initial inspection. This will include advice on layout, structure and design.

Of critical importance to achieving a good Food Hygiene rating, we will prepare a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) – a mandatory item required by your Council’s Environmental Health Officers. This will be bespoke to your business and includes the full set of documentation daily check-lists you will need to demonstrate that your food-related operations are being conducted in compliance with the best Food Hygiene principles.
