Doncaster restaurant which received a zero food hygiene rating hits back at scoring
“We feel this score is not a fair representation or reflection on us”
A Doncaster restaurant which received a zero food hygiene rating has taken to social media to hit back at the inspector’s scoring.
The Bull & Lobster in Bawtry was visited in June this year by the Food Standards Agency when it was found to need urgent improvement.
Commeting on Facebook, The Bull and Lobster Team said: “We feel this score is not a fair representation or reflection on us at The Bull and Lobster in Bawtry.
“Due to the low score given by the council, we have subsequently put measures in place to ensure the revisit that we have booked will put us back to where we should and deserve to be.
“We were marked down heavily and unfairly on structural issues that are unfortunately beyond our control, the building is listed, so we are within a certain limitation.
“Being a new business in this property, we have been undergoing checks with the planning to get this rectified, this has been granted and changes have happened, and we are waiting for a revisit.
“As for our sister sites Howden & Retford, they are currently running on a 5* rating, again it's purely down to structure.
“We take food safety and wellbeing very seriously and whilst that may not be immediately reflected in the score we endeavour to get this rectified ASAP.
“We appreciate all the hard work from our staff and we hope that this doesn't damage people's livelihoods and careers within The Bull & Lobster.”
