Shoreham-by-Sea · Hygiene
A full back-of-house deep clean for Shoreham-by-Sea kitchens - surfaces, equipment and structure - that stands up to an environmental health inspection and protects your food hygiene rating.
Shoreham-by-Sea
Adur District Council rates hundreds of restaurants, cafes and canteens, and the number on the door is the first thing a customer checks.
Shoreham eats out along East Street, the High Street and Brunswick Road, and in the staff canteens of the Ricardo Technical Centre, Brighton City Airport and the businesses of Shoreham Port. Every one of those kitchens answers to the same inspection standard, whether it plates a busy Saturday service or feeds a single day shift.
A deep clean is what a good rating stands on when the Shoreham-by-Sea 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 Ham Road range to the grout under a Middle Street kitchen - to the level an environmental health visit actually marks.
The inspection
The Food Hygiene Rating an officer gives a Shoreham-by-Sea kitchen rests on three things checked on the day, and a deep clean shifts 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 Ham Road range wall to the grouting in a Middle Street kitchen.
Your records and cleaning schedule - a documented deep clean gives you the dated evidence a Shoreham-by-Sea EHO wants to see behind it.
The clean
Floor to ceiling and inside the equipment, across the range Shoreham-by-Sea cooks on - not a surface wipe.
Cook lines stripped and degreased, fryers and ranges emptied and cleaned through, canopy and baffle filters cleared, stainless brought back to a shine, walls and ceilings washed off, cold rooms and fridges sanitised, and the baked grease behind the hot line that a closing wipe never reaches. From one High Street range to a town-scale production kitchen, we fit the work around service - overnight or on a rest day - and hand over a dated record of every job done.
On the ground in Shoreham-by-Sea
We are in Shoreham-by-Sea's kitchens every week. Real jobs, not a gallery of someone else's.
The fryers and stainless benches at a traditional Shoreham-by-Sea garden centre cafe were coated in old grease and carbon, with more carbon on the salamander. We worked through the whole kitchen, every food-contact surface, the range inside and out and the walk-in included. The head chef was really pleased with the outcome, and we left a full set of job photographs alongside the certificate. The owner kept the fresh coffee flowing all morning.
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 Buckingham Road handover or a new Middle Street opening, ahead of a busy season, or on a quarterly cycle so grease never gets the chance to build. A daily clean keeps a Shoreham-by-Sea kitchen running; a deep clean resets it to the condition Adur District Council's officers actually score - two different jobs, done by different hands.
How it runs
Walk the Shoreham-by-Sea kitchen, agree scope and a slot around your service times.
Equipment and food areas safed off before work starts - important where a High Street 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 Shoreham-by-Sea 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 a High Street or Middle Street kitchen an environmental health inspection actually looks at.
Yes - ranges, ovens, fryers, griddles, extraction canopies, fridges and cold rooms, plus the structure around them. Shoreham-by-Sea kitchens span the full range, from a single High Street independent to a town-scale production line.
A schedule of the work done and before-and-after photographs, plus a record you can hand to a Buckingham Road landlord, an incoming operator or a council environmental health officer.
Yes - from High Street and Middle Street to the suburbs, and across the wider West Sussex.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, and across consecutive nights where a High Street or Middle Street site has to stay open. There is no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - the canopy, its baffle filters and the visible run come with the deep clean, which matters most on a heavy Ham Road line where the canopy carbonises fastest and the inspector looks first.
Often. A documented deep clean resets a kitchen to a clean baseline for a new Buckingham Road opening, a change of operator or a Middle Street lease handover, with photographs and a schedule of work for the file.
Local knowledge
Shoreham's Beach Dreams Festival is one of Sussex's longest-running community celebrations, and it fills the cafes and kitchens along East Street and the riverside every summer, as do the town's regular farmers' and art markets. The converted houseboats moored between the Tollbridge and the Adur Ferry Bridge draw visitors down to the river the year round, and they all need feeding. 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.
