What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food, supplies and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 16, 2026. For example: The premises is free of pests.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on January 16, 2026. For example: Each employee demonstrates good personal hygiene and washes their hands as often as necessary to prevent the contamination of food.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded once on November 19, 2024. For example: Operation of premises is in accordance with approved floor plans and specifications.

    After working in several kitchens over the last year, I can safely say this is the best one we’ve encountered so far! We didn’t have to wait long to get in, Mel is an excellent communicator and is super flexible, the online booking system is easy to use, the facilities are sparkling clean/brand new, it’s decked out with a variety of top notch equipment, the list goes on. We absolutely love making our cocktail mixers here and would recommend anyone looking for a simplified process to book here now! They’re even offering copacking soon which is also what drew us to them! The managers are super friendly and helpful and can help with other things too like recipe development. We love it here. Thanks Mel and team!
