Chef 'not embarrassed' by one-star hygiene rating at Michelin-starred restaurant
The chef behind Wales' only two-Michelin-star restaurant has said he is not embarrassed after it was awarded a one-star hygiene rating. Ynyshir Restaurant and Rooms, near Machynlleth in Ceredigion, which charges nearly £500 per head, received the rating after a visit by food safety officers on 5 November. According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), a score of one out of five means major improvement is necessary. But chef patron Gareth Ward, a contestant on MasterChef The Professionals, said the restaurant was working at the highest standard in the world and doing something different with how it approaches raw ingredients and techniques. Ynyshir offers a high-end dining experience starting at £468 per person, including a 30-course tasting menu and an in-house DJ.
