Following an unannounced inspection yesterday by the local Environmental Health Officer, Practice Plus Group Hospital, Plymouth is celebrating a five-star food hygiene rating.
Challenging the common perception that hospital food is uninspiring, the Plymouth team has built a reputation for serving delicious, freshly prepared dishes. NHS and private patients at the hospital and its staff regularly praise the flavour and quality of the food served on site, which includes a wide range of healthy, nutritious meals as well as popular home-baked cakes and treats prepared on site.
“The team puts real care and passion into everything they serve to our patients, staff and visitors.”

Sarah Fell, Hospital Director at Practice Plus Group Hospital, Plymouth, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive a five-star food hygiene rating. I am incredibly proud of our café and kitchen team, who consistently deliver exceptional service to provide meals that not only meet the highest safety standards but also genuinely delight our patients and colleagues.

The team puts real care and passion into everything they serve to our patients, staff and visitors. Their dedication to quality, cleanliness and professionalism is exceptional. This award is thoroughly deserved.”
