I've carried out work at several takeaways in Lewes. A lot of this work was in the kitchen and storage areas.

Spice Kitchen has a 5 rating sticker on door as does Lemon Grass, well they did on Saturday when I walked past both establishments !

The two Thai places down by the Egremont are both decent and not on that list [emoji106]

3 stars is my minimum.

Certainly not! if I were you, at the very least I would want to know exactly why the takeaway only received a 1/5 score on the door

I’d never knowingly choose to buy food from a place so obviously very poor. If you can’t get 4 stars you shouldn’t be allowed to open until you put things right.

I've eaten street food in the Dominican Republic and let me tell you...
I was shitting blood for a week.

Very much this. I love their chicken burger with spicy mayo but it has been a few years now. Man, you have given me a craving for their chicken now.
If you begin to bark like a dog or meow like a cat you have no one to blame but yourself. They seem so cute until the Korean cook cuts their throats.
Isn't that what happens to the food from these establishments after you eat it? A good flushing at the loo and then down the pipes to the city sewage treatment department.
"Yes, you may. That's a lot better than having one of those shitty Palace players OR COACH DRIVERS here."

I reckon any 1 or 2 should be closed, until they get act together.. simple hygiene precautions / safe food handling should get you a 3..

Ah...her food may be good but what are her ' handling procedures ' like?

No. I disagree.
Half the fun of eating in some of these places is trying to spot the hair in the mayonnaise or the cockroach leg gently resting in the fold of a lettuce leaf.

There's a new game format in this.
Five contestants go on a takeaway adventure seeing which one can dine at the lowest rated establishments for the longest without getting botulism and ending up in ITU.
Sort of like love island but set in dingy fast food outlets with contestants who are tired of living.

Inspections are nerve wracking, but I always tell younger staff that if they are doing everything correctly then they have nothing to worry about.
Inspectors themselves can vary in their attitude in my experience. Many want to help and ensure best practices are being adhered to, but occasionally you will get one who it appears is trying to trip you up.
As others have said, a lot of the ratings are to do with records, training and structural issues but councils issue food safety manuals (for free, and in different languages) which cover all of the basics and which if you follow, should get you at least a 3.
Anything below that suggests a real lack of care.

Maybe it depends if you’ve had serious food poisoning. I picked up a Campylobacter infection once while working abroad. Stomach ache, dreadful indigestion and wind for a few days while it got ready to attack, then fever for a few more. Couldn’t be upright without shitting myself once it got a grip - and then, when you think there’s nothing more you can cope with, shitting blood.
So, no, I wouldn’t.
