Understanding Food Safety Ratings in Corporate Catering

In the world of professional catering, hygiene isn’t a buzzword — it’s the backbone of trust.

Trenchers Catering in Birmingham holds the top 5-star Food Hygiene Rating, and that rating represents far more than a certificate on the wall.

What the rating means

Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) inspect food premises for cleanliness, handling, temperature control, pest management and documentation. Scores run from 0 to 5. A 5-star rating indicates full legal compliance and excellent practice.

How Trenchers maintains the standard

Daily temperature logs, cleaning checklists, and allergen controls form part of every shift. Surfaces are sanitised between product types, and separate prep zones prevent cross-contamination. Refrigerated vans are cleaned and checked weekly, ensuring the safety chain doesn’t end at the kitchen door.

Why it matters for corporate clients

For Birmingham businesses ordering food for staff or visitors, a 5-star supplier means confidence. Every sandwich platter reflects procedures as strict as any restaurant’s — only delivered to your boardroom instead of a table.For detailed allergen and ingredient information, visit Trenchers Allergen Information.
