Clevedon · Hygiene
A full back-of-house deep clean for Clevedon kitchens - surfaces, equipment and structure - that stands up to an environmental health inspection and protects your food hygiene rating.
Clevedon
North Somerset Council rates hundreds of restaurants, cafes and canteens, and the number on the door is the first thing a customer checks.
Clevedon eats out along Hill Road, with its independent restaurants, delis and cafes, and around Old Church Road and the seafront, and it is fed too by the staff kitchens of Clevedon Community Hospital and the town's schools. Every one of those kitchens answers to the same inspection standard, whether it plates a busy weekend service or feeds a single shift.
A deep clean is what a good rating stands on when the Clevedon inspector calls. We go well past a nightly wipe-down - the surfaces, the equipment inside and behind, and the fabric of the room, from a grease-laden canopy over a Hill Road range to the grout under a The Beach kitchen - to the level an environmental health visit actually marks.
The inspection
The Food Hygiene Rating an officer awards a Clevedon kitchen is built from three things on the day, and a deep clean moves two of them.
How food is prepped, cooked, cooled and stored on your line - your practice, but it stands on genuinely clean surfaces and equipment underneath it.
The state of the structure and equipment - the pillar a deep clean lifts directly, from a carbonised Hill Road range wall to the grouting in a The Beach kitchen.
Your records and cleaning schedule - a documented deep clean gives you the dated evidence a Clevedon EHO wants to see behind it.
The clean
Top to bottom and into the equipment, across the whole range a Clevedon kitchen runs - not a wipe-down.
Cooking lines stripped and degreased, fryers and ranges cleaned out, the extract canopy and filters cleared, stainless polished, walls and ceilings washed down, fridges and cold rooms sanitised, and the carbonised grease behind the hot line that a nightly close-down never touches. From a single Alexandra Road range to a town-scale production kitchen, we work around your service - overnight or on a close day - and leave a dated record of exactly what was done.
On the ground in Clevedon
We are in Clevedon's kitchens every week. Real jobs, not a gallery of someone else's.
In a family-owned Clevedon carvery, the griddle and stainless benches were coated in old grease and carbon and a musty note hung in the cold room. We stripped the cook line, decarbonised the pass and sanitised every food-contact surface throughout. Every surface came up bright, clean and food-safe. The manager booked a standing annual visit while we were there.
When to book
Usually before the inspector, not after.
Before an FHRS re-inspection, after a rating that needs lifting off a 2 or 3, at a Kenn Road handover or a new The Beach opening, ahead of a busy season, or on a quarterly cycle so grease never gets the chance to build. A daily clean keeps a Clevedon kitchen running; a deep clean resets it to the condition North Somerset Council's officers actually score - two different jobs, done by different hands.
How it runs
Walk the Clevedon kitchen, agree scope and a slot around your service times.
Equipment and food areas safed off before work starts - important where an Alexandra Road kitchen has to reopen the next day.
Surfaces, equipment and structure - deep, and behind the hot line where the grease hides.
A dated record of what was cleaned, for your file and the next Clevedon EHO visit.
Questions
Daily cleaning keeps surfaces usable between services. A deep clean reaches what that never does - behind and beneath fixed equipment, inside ovens, fryers and extraction canopies, and across walls, ceilings and floor junctions. It is the part of an Alexandra Road or The Beach kitchen an environmental health inspection actually looks at.
It depends on the kitchen - a small The Beach independent is usually a night, a town-scale production kitchen several. We scope it on the walk-round and work around your service so you lose no covers.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, and across consecutive nights where an Alexandra Road or The Beach site has to stay open. There is no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
A schedule of the work done and before-and-after photographs, plus a record you can hand to a Kenn Road landlord, an incoming operator or a council environmental health officer.
Yes - ranges, ovens, fryers, griddles, extraction canopies, fridges and cold rooms, plus the structure around them. Clevedon kitchens span the full range, from a single Alexandra Road independent to a town-scale production line.
It targets exactly what the council's officers score on the physical side - the condition and cleanliness of structure and equipment, from a greased Hill Road extract to the grouting on a The Beach line. It cannot change how you handle food, but it removes the build-up that drags a rating down.
Yes - from Alexandra Road and The Beach to the suburbs, and across the wider Somerset.
Local knowledge
The Curzon in Clevedon opened on 20 April 1912, its first show raising funds for the survivors and relatives of the RMS Titanic lost days before, and it stands today as one of the oldest continuously running purpose-built cinemas in the world. A town that has kept an audience fed and watered for over a century now does it along Hill Road and the seafront, in cafes, delis and restaurants busy through every season. Every one of those kitchens works to the same food-hygiene standard, and a deep clean of canopies, filters and hard-to-reach surfaces is what keeps an inspection on the right side of the line.
