Thirty pubs, bars and clubs across Greater Manchester have been ordered to make major improvements after failing to meet basic food hygiene standards.

Inspectors handed the eateries a one star rating, meaning serious changes are required.

The region currently has no zero star rated pubs, bars and clubs.

But the Food Standard Agency data reveals many across the region fell below the expected standard, with 16 in Manchester alone, just getting a one rating.

Well known venues told to improve include K2 Karaoke Night Club and Retro Bar in Manchester city centre and Lola Lo on Deansgate Locks.

Lola Lo bosses said the low rating was the result of a ‘pest issue’ outside the venue, which has now been addressed.

They said there has been a management overhaul and are hoping for a higher grade following a re-inspection.

Food hygiene inspections are carried out in pubs, bars and clubs as well as restaurants, schools and other food outlets regularly by councils.

Following an inspection, each establishment is given a score ranging from zero to five which is made publicly available by the Food Standards Agency.

Officers look at how hygienically the food is prepared and how it is handled, cooked, reheated and stored.

They also looks at the eatery’s cleanliness, layout and ventilation - and judge confidence in management.

All the ratings included below were taken from the FSA’s website as they appeared on Wednesday, October 12.

The M.E.N. contacted all the following eateries for comment.

Current FSA scores also show Hardy’s Well in Rusholme and the Old Grapes Inn in Manchester city centre were given a one star rating following an inspection on February 12, 2016 and November 3, 2015 respectively.

Both the well-known watering holes have since closed.

“We record it all now and keep up to date with all the paperwork, so we just have to sit tight and wait for them to come back and re-inspect.”

“In addition, five members of our Stockport team have since successfully completed a food hygiene course.

“We have upgraded all our equipment and have a new walk-in fridge and a new cooker.

The Shiredale , Fernclough Road, Harpurhey, Manchester. Last inspected: June 2, 2016

Ukrainian Club (Dnipro) , Smedley Lane, Cheetham Hill, Manchester. Last inspected: November 18, 2015

Bohdan Rutkowskyj, Manchester branch chairman of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, said the chef at the time, who was in her 80s, had suffered a heart attack shortly before the inspection, so the kitchen was closed.

He said: “We got the low rating because some documentation was missing, not because of cleanliness.

“The previous cook has now retired, but she had suffered a heart attack so was unwell and the documentation was not on-site.

“We don’t run a commercial kitchen, just a pensioners’ club, rather than a fully functional restaurant.

“I appreciate the documentation needs to be kept up to date and logs of fridge temperature need to be kept and we do that.

“We have another chef lined up who has all the correct registration, so we will make sure all that is right.

“The inspector said the kitchen was nice and clean and the right temperature.

“It was just that our chef, who was very sick, had left the documentation off-site.”

Vivid Lounge , Great Ancoats Street, New Islington, Manchester. Last inspected: December 4, 2015

A spokeswoman said bosses have invited inspectors back, but they have not had another visit yet.

She added: “This rating dates back to December 2015, when we were undergoing some refurbishments and team changes.

“The food hygiene and safety were classified as ‘very good’, the structural compliance ‘fair’, but the lack of correct admin and paperwork to hand let us down.

“We would like to reassure our customers that their food has always been of the highest quality - locally sourced where possible, and prepared and cooked in the cleanest conditions.”

Weavers Arms , Brunel Street, Bolton. Last inspected: August 20, 2014. Last inspected: August 20, 2014
