Wiltshire Council's HQ cafe has been given a top food hygiene rating after being told improvements were needed.
Following an inspection last year the BeeTees Café at County Hall in Trowbridge was told that "major improvement" was necessary in the management of food safety.
The inspection found that improvement was also needed in the hygienic handling of food.
Now following another inspection on on Monday, July 15 it has been awarded a five-star food hygiene rating.
Co-owner, Tom Morgan said: “We are delighted with our new score. We have worked very hard as a team to achieve this and are proud of our staff for helping us to get the result."
The Food Standards Agency said: “At this time, the hygiene rating given was 5.
“This rating was made up of a hygiene food handling standard of ‘good’, a cleanliness & condition of facilities and building standard of ‘very good’ and a Management of Food Safety standard of ‘good’.
“This means the business showed excellent standards of safety on their premises. All businesses should aim to achieve this score."
Alisa Morgan, who supervises the BeeTees Café in County Hall, added: “We are delighted with the five-stars which makes all our hard work worthwhile.”
Terence Herbert, Wiltshire Council’s chief executive, added: “We were pleased to hear that BeeTees has received a 5* food hygiene rating for the café in County Hall.
“Although we aren’t responsible for the operation of the café at County Hall, we are keen for the Atrium to be used as a community space and having a top-quality service available for use by both our staff and customers is a key priority for us."
The BeeTees Café site opened in August 2023 after the success of the BeeTees Café-Bar in Market Street. It serves hot and cold refreshments to Wiltshire Council staff and County Hall visitors.
