Gulliver’s World theme park in Old Hall recently received a two-star food hygiene rating following an inspection by the Food Standards Agency on August 20. The inspection highlighted areas in need of improvement, particularly in the hygienic handling of food such as food preparation and cooking.
While the cleanliness of the building and the management of food safety were deemed ‘generally satisfactory’, the theme park fell short in certain areas of food hygiene. In response to the rating, Gulliver’s World stated that they have made significant investments in ensuring their food outlets meet the required standards.
One of the reasons cited for the below standard rating was the absence of a head of catering or catering manager at the time of inspection. However, the theme park has since completed the recruitment process and hired new staff to oversee food operations.
It is important to note that businesses have the opportunity to respond to their food hygiene ratings, and these responses are made public on the Food Standards Agency website. Gulliver’s World’s response to the rating and the steps taken to address the issues can be viewed online.
Maintaining high standards of food hygiene is crucial for any establishment serving food to the public. By addressing the areas in need of improvement and hiring qualified staff to oversee food operations, Gulliver’s World is taking proactive steps to ensure the health and safety of their guests.
Visitors to the theme park can rest assured that measures have been put in place to enhance food hygiene standards and provide a safe dining experience. As the theme park continues to make improvements, it is likely that they will see an increase in their food hygiene rating in the future.
