The Trumpet Scores Four on the Doors

The Trumpet in Merstow Green, Evesham, Worcestershire is the first pub in the Wychavon District Council area to be granted 4 stars for the excellence of its hygiene standards in what is a new scheme for food businesses.

Scores on the doors is a national public information service where consumers can find the official local authority hygiene ratings for food businesses.

The Trumpet has been given the 4stars for the high standards of hygiene and cleanliness it has in its bar, kitchen and toilets. A Wychavon District Council spokesman said: “We are working with all other local authorities in Herefordshire and Worcestershire to ensure consistency and transparency of information relating to food hygiene inspections, by publishing the scores that food businesses receive following a food hygiene inspection.

“In our scheme, caterers will be awarded from 0 to 5 stars based on the results of a food hygiene inspection. The star rating is available to view on our website and a certificate, for voluntary display, is provided to the food business.”  The pub’s cook Wendy Cope said: “To be the first pub in Evesham with a 4 star rating is fantastic.”

Situated close to the centre of Evesham's historic heart, the Trumpet offers an ideal place for visitors to the town to chill out. Outside, the pretty garden offers a place for families to relax, sitting at the wooden tables.

From its launch date on 28 January 2008, the results for all caterers inspected since 1 April 2007 will be available on the council web site – HERE
