At Tam's Events & Catering Ltd, food safety is our top priority, as reflected in our 5-star food hygiene rating maintained consistently for over five years. During a partial inspection at a mobile event on 26/09/2026, challenges occurred due to unusual logistical circumstances,. Cold Storage & Temperature Monitoring: We primarily operate using our own dedicated refrigerated vehicle. Due to logistics on the day, temporary cool boxes were used as backup. I was asked by the EHO to get some ice to reduce the temperature of the foods - which I did on the day.. We have since purchased a new digital probe thermometer to ensure continuous temperature monitoring below 8°C at all future events. Allergen Information: Our mobile menu board features explicit signage inviting customers to inform staff of any allergies prior to ordering. While our standard printed allergen matrix was misplaced in transit from a previous event, a full written matrix was compiled on-site, and a replacement matrix is now permanently stored in the mobile unit. Hand Washing Facilities: Our mobile wash hand basin was broken on the day. The EHO asked us to put in place temporary hand washing facilities which we did. Our mobile basin pump has now been repaired.. We have submitted and paid for a rescore inspection which will be done when we are trading at an event in December..
