Penryn Campus Food & Drink Outlets Receive 5* Hygiene Rating

April 4, 2025

FX Plus is delighted to secure a 5-star hygiene rating once again across all its Penryn Food & Drink outlets, following an annual inspection by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The prestigious rating, part of the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, reflects the highest standards of food safety and cleanliness. Customers are now able to view the rating both on-site and online, helping you make informed choices about where to dine.

The inspection, conducted in January, assesses each outlet’s compliance with food hygiene laws, including:

  • Food handling practices
  • Storage and preparation procedures
  • Cleanliness of facilities
  • Overall management of food safety

In their report, the assessors commented on how “very clean and well organised” the kitchens were.

Speaking about the achievement, Tristan Gordon, Executive Head Chef at FX Plus, expressed pride in the team’s commitment to consistently upholding top-tier food safety standards.

“The team and I take great pride in ensuring the highest of standards. We are pleased to have maintained our 5-star hygiene rating for another year,” he said.

With over 25 years of expertise spanning high-end dining and contract catering, Tristan leads menu development across our Falmouth and Penryn Campus outlets.

Falmouth campus is assessed separately, and its annual inspection will take place later in the year.
