Today a site visit was made following a complaint received that there were cockroaches present in the dining area and kitchen. Also complainant alleges that food is being kept outside in the heat. As per staff cockroaches were observed at facility last month and the Facility is using professional pest control and having regular pest control treatment that includes cockroach extermination.

The back kitchen and prep area had dirt and other sediments along the edges and near the 3 VAT sink area and missing tiles near the steam table. Also a flycatcher in the 3 VAT sink area had many flies stuck on the glue strip and had not been removed / replaced . Discussed with manager to increase cleaning frequency in the back area and replace the missing tiles. No potentially hazardous food item was observed being left out in room temperature at this inspection. Part of complaint received seems valid but facility has taken steps to correct and rectify the problem.
