A SHIPLEY pub has been given top rating for its level of hygiene following an inspection.

The Sir Norman Rae, Market Square, has gained the top five-star rating in the council’s Scores on the Doors programme.

Scores on the Doors aims to highlight hygiene standards in pubs, restaurants, take-aways and clubs across the district.

Inspectors judge outlets on how hygienic and well-managed the food preparation at the premises is and each business is benchmarked against the same criteria namely: hygiene, structural and confidence in management.

Harry Boner, the pub’s manager, said: “We are delighted that we have gained the top rating and I’m sure our customers will welcome the news too.

“Standards of hygiene at the pub are of paramount importance.

“All of the staff work hard to ensure that the pub offers its customers the highest levels of hygiene at all time and we are delighted that our efforts have been recognised with the five-star rating.”
