Three places in Brighton & Hove rated 0 out of 5 for food hygiene...

[fataddick]

Probably old news, but found a website that tells you food hygiene ratings for everywhere (pubs, restaurants, takeaways, sandwich shops, etc etc). There are only three places in Brighton & Hove that score zero out of five (by contrast 1,372 places score 5 out of 5). The places with this zero 'honour' are Wing Hing in Hollingbury, Tiffany's in North Road and Sing Li chippie by the station. Many of my mates love Sing Li. Their reaction when I told them of its zero rating: "I doubt anywhere could make chips that good WITHOUT a zero rating." Some big name places amongst the 114 places that only score 1 out of 5 (the Dome venue, BBQ Shack at World's End, Mesmerist, Marwood, etc). You can search several ways (eg via local council and rating) here: Food Standards Agency - Search for food hygiene ratings

Sing Li shop decor does seem to be stuck in a time warp, but do agree about food- no probs at all.. ya think someone's trying to oust them, in favour of ANOTHER coffee bar..?

I eat in Tiffany's in North street before pretty much every home game, never been ill or had any issues. Bit worrying though.

Sing Li? Nooo. Loved that place when I lived on the Buckingham Rd. Still, hardly surprises!

"Yoo won saltyfinger?" Would Sir like salt and vinegar?

"Opera rap?" Shall I leave this open for you to enjoy now or perhaps wrapped so they stay warm for your journey?

Never had an issue with the place though or Tiffany's. One place I have an issue withg is that Marlowes place, yes all very Withnail but it really is a shithole and full of tossers. Ghastly place.

Sing Li chips are extraordinarily odd. Dunno how many times they re-use the fat to fry those things, but it must be in the triple figures. A reliably queasy experience. Love the decor and the classic Chinese chippie nature of the place though

Should be law that every restaurant has it on their front door. I see no reason not to have that law in place?

Have you seen the state of the bloke himself, Mr Sing Li I presume? Sometimes you see him hobbling along at speed in the outside world, christ that man has collect some stains on his trousers through the years.

Sing Li's huge portains of chips! Love them. in fact after the next home game I will be getting my dinner from this fine establishment.

Ooops just moved to Alexandra villas near sing li. Been there twice this month tasted pretty good! Put off now....

I recall the Argus reporting that Sobs on the Dials was shut down as they had no hot water among other infractions, they installed a kettle and were allowed to re-open so don't put too much stock in Food Hygiene Inspectors! I used to get pizzas and burgers from there when I was a massive boozer and lived on Vernon Terrace. I have a memory of heartburn a lot at that time but hardly surprising.

Preston Street not too bad. Four 1-rated, thirteen 5-rated, everything else in-between. One of the 1s is the much respected Nishat Tandoori which a Guardian food critic once said has "the best tasting food outside of India". Clearly hygiene standards don't necessarily affect tastiness (maybe the opposite)...

RFC by the Steine has a five star rating... Wonders never cease

 

[Postman Pat]

Had food from Wing Hing a few times, not for over a year now, last two times my wife was sick after eating chicken curry from there. Won't be going back!

 

[Lankyseagull]

Ahh. Good old Sing Li!

"Sore finger you want?"

Went there for a battered sausage & chips after the match on Saturday. Never had any ill affects, but might think twice in future!

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Casual racism aside, I love Sing Li too!

I honestly couldn't care less that they store their chips on the floor, or that their fish is kept for years in the big freezer in the garden.

RFC by the Steine has a five star rating... Wonders never cease

Have to say, along with Sing Li, that I fully expected this place to be on the list.

 

[Notters]

I'm reliably informed that you can get a very low rating for just incorrectly filling in paper work. No surprise re sing lees. Surprised at Murasaki getting 1/2 stars though.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Hygiene is overrated. Very occasionally eating exceptionally unhygienic grub will give you food poisoning, but chances are the more you're exposed to the nasty bacteria's such as salmonella etc the better chance your immune system has in the future & you probably won't get ill at all.

Cockroach particles and the occasional trace of faeces isn't going to do anyone any harm (as long as you don't know about it)

Really !!!

Shake n burger on Shoreham Beach and The Curry Place opposite Ropetackle are Shoreham's zero pointers.
