20/03/07 - Five stars for Chicken George

Council hygiene inspectors were delighted to award Chicken George of 345 Hitchin Road a five star rating, during a recent inspection.

This is the highest possible score under the Scores on the doors hygiene scheme.

Environmental health officer Hittess Vaghela said: "This is the first ever hot food takeaway to achieve five stars under Scores on the doors. We have a few restaurants and schools that have achieved this excellent standard but not any takeaways.”

He continued: “The law sets basic standards. But if any business, whether they are a large company or a mobile van, takes factors such as hygiene, cleaning, repair and management seriously then they should be able to achieve five stars. Congratulations to Chicken George for their excellent hygiene standards on the day of inspection.”
