Michelin two-star chef in hygiene row hits out at prehistoric' inspectors
"They're prehistoric, these guys. They've actually admitted to me, to my face, they don't understand my restaurant. They've judged me before they've understood. Instead of trying to understand it, they've just slapped a one [star] on it. Speaking on Instagram, a clearly emotional Ward said: I haven't had a meltdown. I am going to fight. I am going to protect what's mine. I'm not going to roll over and die."
"A knife used for shaving beef was described as dirty and concerns were flagged up about potential cross-contamination between ready-to-eat raw minced beef and other raw meat. Reorganise your fridge storage arrangements to ensure that adequate separation between raw and ready to eat food is achieved, the report said. It went on to say lobster meat was being served raw. Significant risks associated with the service of raw lobsters specifically microbiological hazards have not been fully identified and/or controlled."
Gareth Ward, chef of Ynyshir near Machynlleth, received a one-star hygiene rating despite holding two Michelin stars. Inspectors recorded an accumulation of dead flies on a flypaper sticky strip and flies elsewhere in the premises. The report described a dirty knife used for shaving beef and flagged potential cross-contamination between ready-to-eat raw minced beef and other raw meat, advising reorganisation of fridge storage to ensure separation. The report stated lobster meat was being served raw and warned that significant microbiological risks had not been fully identified or controlled, urging cessation of raw lobster service or enforcement action. Handwashing shortcomings were also noted.
