The following outlet received a rating of one:

  • Bad Luck Social Club, York Place, Brighton, rated on April 29.

Food safety officers from Brighton and Hove City Council found that Bad Luck Social Club needed to make major improvements to its management of food safety.

This includes the systems and checks that are in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat.

Inspectors found that the venue’s hygienic food handling was good, while the cleanliness and condition of the building and facilities were generally satisfactory.

Businesses which are given low ratings of zero or one must make urgent or major improvements to hygiene standards.

The local authority food safety officer has several enforcement options available and gives advice and guidance to make sure these improvements are made.

The food safety officer will also tell the business how quickly these improvements must be made and this will depend on the type of issue that needs to be addressed.

If the officer finds a business’s hygiene standards are very poor and there is an imminent risk to public health, when food may be unsafe to eat, the officer must act to ensure consumers are protected.

This could result in stopping part of the business or closing it down until it is safe.
