Went into prettys this morning as my boyfriend wanted a cooked breakfast, the place looked stinking so I checked out the hygiene score as it wasn't on the door, which I thought was illegal... Anyway when

I checked it had 1 star which is dreadful and I immediately left before I ordered.

Food Standard Agency - WEB site ---- In England and Northern Ireland, when you eat out or shop for food, you might see a sticker in the window or on the door, or a certificate on display, showing you the hygiene rating for that business. Businesses are encouraged to display these stickers and certificates at their premises in a place where you can easily see them when you visit. In Wales, from 28 November 2013, those businesses who receive a new FHRS sticker that includes the Welsh Government logo will have to display it in a prominent place ? such as the front door, entrance or window and provide information on their rating verbally, if asked.

Not sure why people are surprised that there are a lot of low ratings within Dulwich when chefs from various eateries here are outside smoking and sitting on the ground/steps with their aprons/uniforms still on , or the ones walking into their businesses with Iceland shopping bags or the unmarked non-refrigerated vans that deliver their meats.

If that is acceptable to them then I dread to see their kitchens.


Thankfully not all of them adopt these practises but there is a fair few which I won't name but its evident by their low ratings !

What has Iceland shopping bags got to do with anything?

The Criteria for Hygiene Ratings:--




How hygienically the food is handled ?

how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored.


The condition of the structure of the buildings ?

the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities.


How the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe


So some of these are incidental to actual Food Hygiene

Perhaps a place has no disabled facilities/ access.

Perhaps the building is old. The lighting is poor.


I would tend to ignore these ratings and judge by my own experience.

Oh yeah, like you get to look behind the scenes like the inspectors do! They don't just hand out these ratings willy nilly. I suggest you watch exactly what the staff do next time you're in there. Keep running across the road, it won't be long.

Who gives a shit about the so-called Hygiene ratings, even those in the industry scorn them.


Pretty's has always been fine in my book. Makes me wonder why the OP and their partner bothered going in the door if the "place looked stinking" as they claim. If I thought a place looked rank, I wouldn't bother going in. Not as if there's a paucity of other places to choose from either.

I have never been in the place.. I rarely use cafes. But having said that, I would be

more concerned about the so called 'Top' restaurants and Hotels when it comes to hygiene.


Could not even begin the understand exactly what you were trying to say..


Nothing new there then....

OP? Actually I didn't realise what it was like until I entered the premises, someone elses baked beans caked onto the menu rang alarm bells and that's when I checked out the score before swiftly exiting. Yes there are other places and I went somewhere else with higher cleanliness standards!

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
