Zero hygiene rating for bistro

IMPROVEMENTS MADE SINCE LOW RATING

- WILLIAM TELFORD

FRENCH-THEMED Bistrot Pierre has been given the lowest possible food hygiene rating for its Plymouth restaurant. The Royal William Yard eatery has been zero rated and told urgent improvement is necessary.

After an inspection in June, the Food Standards Agency said “major improvement” was needed for the outlet’s management of food safety, and for the cleanliness and condition of its facilities and building. It was also told to improve its hygienic food handling.

When Bistrot Pierre was last inspected, in December 2019, it was given a top rating of five and told it was “very good”.
