A takeaway in Meneage Street, Salt and Vinegar, has received a new follow-up inspection. The shop was previously given a zero hygiene rating but has now been upgraded to a rating of 4, indicating good standards of hygiene. Shane Reeve took over the establishment just after the previous inspection conducted in October, and since then, he has worked tirelessly to improve its cleanliness and meet the required standards.
Following the inspection by Cornwall Council on Wednesday, December 20, the new rating was proudly displayed in the shop’s window and announced on its Facebook page. Shane Reeve expressed his satisfaction with the upgraded rating and mentioned that he expects to achieve a rating of 5 next year.
After taking over the fish and chip shop, Mr. Reeve ensured a thorough deep clean. He emptied and cleaned the entire premises, restocked the fridges with fresh food, rearranged the kitchen, and made necessary changes to meet the hygiene standards. In addition, he completed courses on allergies, filled out all the relevant paperwork, carried out necessary decorations, and established waste contracts.
The previous inspection, conducted by Cornwall Council on behalf of the Food Standards Agency, had revealed that the establishment fell short in various aspects of hygiene, including the handling, preparation, cooking, reheating, cooling, and storage of food, as well as the cleanliness of facilities and building, and the overall management of food safety.

The community and customers of Salt and Vinegar have welcomed the improvements made by Mr. Reeve, commending his hard work and dedication. As the takeaway aims to achieve a rating of 5 in the future, customers can rest assured that their dining experience will be marked by consistently high standards of hygiene.
This news will bring reassurance to customers and potentially attract new patrons to Salt and Vinegar. The takeaway has demonstrated its commitment to providing a clean and safe environment for customers to enjoy their meals.
Salt and Vinegar’s story serves as a reminder that with diligence and hard work, even establishments with low hygiene ratings can turn their fortunes around. Mr. Reeve’s efforts and determination have paid off, resulting in an upgraded hygiene rating and restoring the reputation of this Meneage Street takeaway.
