Head Chef James Reeves says he is “incredibly proud”.
Written by The Dial team.
The Dial Bar & Restaurant (174-175 Station Street) is proud to announce that it has once again retained its five-star food hygiene rating following its latest inspection by Environmental Health.
When Head Chef James Reeves joined The Dial and took responsibility for the kitchen, the restaurant held a four-star hygiene rating. Under his leadership, The Dial achieved the highest possible rating and has now maintained its five-star status for an impressive 18 consecutive years.
He described this accolade as “something of which I am incredibly proud”.
When I first joined The Dial, the restaurant held a four-star rating, so achieving five stars and maintaining that standard year after year has always been extremely important to me.
It requires rigorous processes, strong controls and consistent attention to detail across every aspect of the kitchen – from food preparation and storage to cleanliness, training and record-keeping.
This achievement would not be possible without the dedication and teamwork of everyone at The Dial. Our customers trust us to deliver not only excellent food and service, but also the highest standards of hygiene and food safety.
I would like to thank the entire team, past and present, for their hard work and commitment. Eighteen consecutive years at the highest level is a tremendous achievement, and one we are determined to continue.
The owners of The Dial also praised James and the entire kitchen and front-of-house teams for their professionalism, discipline and continued commitment to maintaining the restaurant’s exceptionally high standards.
