A huge well done to the catering team at Avocet Court in Ipswich, who are celebrating after being awarded another perfect 5-star score in their latest EHO inspection.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) five-star rating is awarded to businesses who successfully meet three key criteria – how hygienically food is handled, the physical condition of the business and how the business manages food safety.
There’s a specific focus on areas including cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and pest control; as well as looking at processes, training and systems to ensure good hygiene is maintained.
The inspection is unannounced and at Avocet Court the main kitchen was inspected as well as the satellite kitchens on each of our communities. Our team achieving this award consecutively over a number of years reflects our home’s commitment to the highest standards.
Avocet Court Hospitality Services Manager Hayley Halsall said, said, “Our catering team work really hard every day, providing exceptional home cooked food for our residents and visitors.
“It’s not just about excellent food though, their hard work and commitment to keeping up with new and existing regulations at all times all times are reflected in the fact our kitchen has retained its 5* EHO rating – we’re very proud of them all.”
