| When Mr Abdul Khalique Ali
opened the Maharajah Restaurant in Purton he had one ambition, to build a widespread
reputation for the finest quality food and service. This is now well established and the
Maharajah has often received praise from food critics and had many worthy mentions in
respected magazines and guides. These of course are
all good indications that the food really is something special and well above the
ordinary, but recently an even higher accolade was received from an unusual source.
All premises selling food are legally required to meet
strict standards in the control of their kitchens. This extends to proper control over all
the foods and raw materials purchased and to meeting the very highest standards in food
hygiene. The Environmental Health Officers, whose job in part, is to enforce these
standards, visit premises and inspect all aspects of these essential requirements to
ensure compliance.
On a recent visit to the Maharajah, the Environmental
Health Officer was moved to write a congratulatory letter containing the following
comments:
"I write to congratulate you
on the very high standard of hygiene and cleanliness noted at your premises during the
recent routine food safety inspection.
Would you please pass on my
comments to your staff and urge them to continue with their good work.
The paper controls you have in
place are an essential and integral part in ensuring food safety and it was a pleasure to
find such a comprehensive system.
Once again may I say well
done."
Well, high praise indeed, how often is it that a
restaurant receives praise from such a professional source. The Environmental Health
Officers perform an outstanding and often thankless job in protecting the general public
and are regularly required to enforce standards when they find restaurants which simply
fail to look after the essential aspects of food hygiene.
So we can rest assured that the Maharajah
Restaurant in Purton, not only provides us with some of the finest Indian dishes
available, but also provides the very highest levels of food Hygiene in the preparation of
its excellent foods.
And that’s official!
