A pub has been given a two-star food hygiene rating.
The Goldcroft, in Caerleon, Newport, was inspected on February 24, 2025, and was found to have "improvement necessary" in two areas.
These areas were "hygienic food handling" and "cleanliness and condition of facilities and building."
The "management of food safety" was found to be "generally satisfactory."
A two-star rating means that improvements are needed.
The Food Hygiene Rating Act 2013 became law in Wales on March 4, 2013, requiring all businesses selling food in Wales - including pubs, cafes, restaurants, hotels, takeaways, schools, hospitals, canteens, care homes and corner shops – to display hygiene ratings in a prominent place, and to provide the information verbally if requested over the phone.
Inspections are carried out by the local authority officers, and ratings - from zero, meaning urgent improvement is necessary or they may risk closure; to five, meaning standards are excellent - are updated on the FSA website.
Businesses have the right to appeal against ratings.
Each inspection is carried out under three categories - hygienic food handling, which covers preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage, cleanliness and condition of facilities and building, covering including having appropriate layout, ventilation, hand washing facilities and pest control, and the management of food safety, which is defined as the system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat, evidence that staff know about food safety, and the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future.
The Goldcroft did not respond to a request for comment.
