SeaRock, a renowned fish and chip restaurant in Portishead, recently received a one-star hygiene rating following a Food Standards Agency inspection in March. This came as a surprise to many, given SeaRock’s history of consistently high hygiene scores and industry accolades. Owner Ibrahim Canatan explained that the inspection coincided with a short period of management restructuring within the kitchen, which temporarily impacted their usual high standards. “The inspection on 17 March took place during a transitional phase in our management,” Canatan said.
