One key issue identified in the latest inspection was the management of food safety, meaning the systems in place to ensure food served is safe to eat, which were deemed to require ‘major improvement’.
But inspectors also stated that the cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, as well as the food handling was ‘generally satisfactory’.
The restaurant serves breakfast as well as a wide variety of American style burgers, chicken wins, chicken tenders and fried chicken.
In 2022 the store planned to extend to 90 High Street, with a planning application submitted to take over the shop from Patisserie Valerie.
