elsiegee40 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I looked up the Pizza Express in Luton that we usually go to when we go to see the football and that doesn't show either. All our local restaurants in Tonbridge are named (and shamed in some cases) though! I need to find a different Chinese.

elsiegee40 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I think I need to find a different Chinese as well, the 1 I use it Rating 1! Both the ones we use get 2 Trouble is I have had a dicky tummy after eating at both and just blamed it on too much booze.
laserblazer Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 I've just put my son off the local KFC - Rating 1 - Glad to see it's improving
mac_shinobi Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Putting KFC out of business over local chinese restaurants / take aways ?
Devontechie Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Both the ones we use get 2 Trouble is I have had a dicky tummy after eating at both and just blamed it on too much booze. I've never had any problems with the 1 I use, so may just keep using it! lol! I've just put my son off the local KFC - Rating 1 - The KFCs here have a rating of 3 and 5...
elsiegee40 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 The KFCs here have a rating of 3 and 5... I know we're on the same train line, but Hastings is a bit far to go for a KFC. Not that I ever go there, my son and his mates though...!
localzuk Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Most of the places around me seem to be 4 or 5. Found 2 with 1 ratings though, both as I'd expect as they're right dives...
Devontechie Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I know we're on the same train line, but Hastings is a bit far to go for a KFC. Not that I ever go there, my son and his mates though...! lol! Yeah it is a bit far just for a KFC!
witch Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Couldnt find anything near me and the postcode kept giving me restaurants in Swanage which is a fair way away from here!
synaesthesia Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Can't seem to find the place I normally get take aways from ( Called Spot On in Irthlingborough ) It finds number 69 with a 5 star rating but that is a different place altogether afaik ? "Too unspeakable to rate" Hope not, rather enjoy the garlic bread and cheese. Grease machine! Glad to see my absolute favourite food place is 5 star though - the Artlenock shop! Mmmmmm, sweeeeets.
john Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Best suggestion I have had today, I did a postcode search, it found a local Italian place (that I forgot existed) as a 4 and then suggested my next nearest restaurant is in London! For those that have read my location its a bit of a trek!!
jinnantonnixx Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) A few worrying '1's nearby. Luckily my favourite Indian is a '4' so we're on for Saturday.... The sandwich place that used to deliver to my old works got a '1'. Urgh. Edited June 20, 2012 by jinnantonnixx
AMLinington Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Wow, that is a great site. Disturbing but great. The 'horrible' chinese near us gets a 5, our indian gets a 4, the pizza place gets a 5 and the 'nice' chinese gets a 1 :-S Eeep.
jinnantonnixx Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 How bad is a '1'? It can't be dangerously bad, Shirly, or they'd close it down.....?
andyturpie Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 All that happens down our way is as soon as a outlet gets a poor health rating, the premises is "sold" onto a family member and then the operation starts again until next audit.
CESIL Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) The Indian and Chinese that we use both get 5's so I am happy... ...OTOH the "advanced" search option on the site is rubbish! [edit]...but I am not surprised to see the places that get 1s around here![/edit] Edited June 25, 2012 by CESIL
AMLinington Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I am surprised by the 1 rating for the 'nice' chinese - the food is lovely. The food from the 5-rated place is horrible. But I guess it's about food prep and storage and I can see how they might find the 'nice' chinese a bit dodgy - it's an 'open kitchen' meaning you can watch your food cooked 'live'. It's also TINY but having watched my food prepared, I don't have any complaints about the way they handle it so that rating did surprise me a lot. That being said I was also surprised by the 4 for the Indian. Pleased but surprised - the indian is LOVELY - best indian food I've ever eaten, but I can't say I've been overly impressed by the appearance of their staff tbh. I was also surprised to find that a very very popular indian restaurant in a lovely little village square near us got a 1!! Thats horrifying - it is supposedly a 'gourmet' restaurant. I WAS going there for my birthday meal but I think I've changed my mind now...
teejay Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Just found a local Chinese has a 0 rating, I've always thought their chicken didn't taste much like chicken. Definitely will be bypassing for the one just up the road that has a 5 star rating. 1
AMLinington Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Don't forget this rating is about hygiene only, it's not a reflection on the quality of food. I would suggest the dodgy chicken (is it weird and slimy?) has been boiled rather than pan fried - Asda curries use horrid boiled chicken and it's gross. Hygiene ratings and food flavour are totally separate. I was simply distinguishing between the two by virtue of our experiences of their food. It's also really interesting to look up popular and supposedly 'high end' places and find out they have terrible ratings (I'm still shocked and concerned about Veranda) meaning that kitchen hygiene, food prep and storage is poor. You'd have thought somewhere 'high end' would be more invested in keeping their kitchen hygiene to a high standard wouldn't you. It's a shame the reports aren't published. If you want them you have to make an FoI request to the LA which is a pain in the rear.
featured_spectre Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 elsiegee40 if it helps the luton pizza express rating is 4/5 from the council. They have the sign up near their entrance. My boss treated us today and I saw it.
