The Catering Service at St Mary’s Hospital has been awarded 5 stars for food hygiene following an unannounced food hygiene inspection by Environmental Health Inspectors from the Isle of Wight Council.
The Full Circle Restaurant has recently had a full makeover and now diners can enjoy comfortable seating areas, both inside and outside and a brand new daily menu including hot food, a salad bar and sandwiches as well as delicious desserts and is open to members of the public as well as patients and staff.
Inspectors looked at the handling of food for patients, visitors and staff including how food is prepared and stored, the cleanliness of the facilities and how food safety is managed at St. Mary’s Hospital. All areas of the inspection met the highest standard of food hygiene.
Natalie Bennetts, Head of Facilities at the IW NHS Trust is proud of the 5-star rating and maintaining their high standard of food hygiene for patients, visitors and staff. Natalie said:
“The Catering Team thrive on receiving excellent feedback on the service we provide and it is no different when it comes to our food hygiene rating.
“We produce over 1,000 good quality, nutritious meals every day from our traditional cook kitchen, so our food hygiene rating is important and is testament to the dedication of each and every one of our Catering staff. I am so proud that our patients, visitors and staff continue to enjoy the meals we provide.”

The restaurant can be found on Level B and is open Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 19:00 and Saturday and Sunday, 07:30 to 19:00 offering a varied choice of menu including options for vegetarian meals and special diets.
Well , you should expect that shouldn’t you?
Why all the self congratulations.
Easy to achieve when your employer is given whatever sum of money is needed to over employee the staff needed and to buy new equipment as and when needed
Not taking anything away from the staff though as clearly it requires good people to achieve such standards
You are right. That’s the job. Just keep it up.
Well done. I don’t understand the previous negative comments above
They are responsible dedicated people to maintain the high standards on an ongoing basis.
Look at the list of kitchens on the island with 4 stars and less. Many 3 of below.
I wouldn’t expect anything less for such an establishment.
