Well done to the café team!

⭐ We're proud to share some fantastic news! ⭐

The Nestbox recently welcomed a visit from the Environmental Health Officer and we're delighted to announce that our café has been awarded a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 – the highest possible rating! 🌟

This achievement is a testament to the hard work, professionalism and dedication of our café team, who remained calm under pressure during the inspection and have worked incredibly hard in recent months to maintain our excellent standards in our new surroundings.

A huge thank you to every member of the team for their commitment to providing a safe, clean and welcoming environment for our visitors.

Please join us in congratulating the team on this fantastic achievement! 👏
