Windsor · Hygiene
A full back-of-house deep clean for Windsor kitchens - surfaces, equipment and structure - that stands up to an environmental health inspection and protects your food hygiene rating.
Windsor
Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead rates hundreds of restaurants, cafes and canteens, and the number on the door is the first thing a customer checks.
Windsor eats out along Peascod Street, Thames Street and St Leonards Road, in the riverside restaurants below the castle and in the staff and visitor kitchens of Legoland Windsor, the town's many hotels, King Edward VII Hospital and Eton College. Every one of those kitchens answers to the same inspection standard, whether it plates for a coach party or feeds a single shift.
A deep clean is what a good rating stands on when the Windsor 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 Peascod Street range to the grout under a King Edward Court kitchen - to the level an environmental health visit actually marks.
The inspection
The Food Hygiene Rating an officer awards a Windsor 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 Peascod Street range wall to the grouting in a King Edward Court kitchen.
Your records and cleaning schedule - a documented deep clean gives you the dated evidence a Windsor EHO wants to see behind it.
The clean
Top to bottom and into the equipment, across the whole range a Windsor 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 Thames Street range to a large-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 Windsor
We are in Windsor's kitchens every week. Real jobs, not a gallery of someone else's.
A local pizzeria in Windsor had months of soil across its food-contact surfaces, along with carbon caked on the salamander. We worked through the whole kitchen, taking in the griddle inside and out and the walk-in. The kitchen went on to pass its next hygiene audit comfortably, backed by a full photo report and certificate. We left before-and-after photos and a hygiene certificate for the compliance records.
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 Clewer handover or a new King Edward Court opening, ahead of a busy season, or on a quarterly cycle so grease never gets the chance to build. A daily clean keeps a Windsor kitchen running; a deep clean resets it to the condition Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's officers actually score - two different jobs, done by different hands.
How it runs
Walk the Windsor kitchen, agree scope and a slot around your service times.
Equipment and food areas safed off before work starts - important where a Thames 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 Windsor 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 Thames Street or King Edward Court kitchen an environmental health inspection actually looks at.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, and across consecutive nights where a Thames Street or King Edward Court site has to stay open. There is no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
It targets exactly what the council's officers score on the physical side - the condition and cleanliness of structure and equipment, from a greased Peascod Street extract to the grouting on a King Edward Court line. It cannot change how you handle food, but it removes the build-up that drags a rating down.
Yes - ranges, ovens, fryers, griddles, extraction canopies, fridges and cold rooms, plus the structure around them. Windsor kitchens span the full range, from a single Thames Street independent to a large-town-scale production line.
Yes - from Thames Street and King Edward Court to the suburbs, and across the wider Berkshire.
A schedule of the work done and before-and-after photographs, plus a record you can hand to a Clewer landlord, an incoming operator or a council environmental health officer.
Often. A documented deep clean resets a kitchen to a clean baseline for a new Clewer opening, a change of operator or a King Edward Court lease handover, with photographs and a schedule of work for the file.
Local knowledge
Every May the private grounds of Windsor Castle host the Royal Windsor Horse Show, established in 1943 and the largest outdoor horse show in the country, drawing crowds that fill the town's cafes, marquees and kitchens for a week. 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.
