Walton Arms, Warrington

Hi. As I had a chance to see and understand "Walton Arms"(WA4 6TG Warrington ) from inside (fortunately for me not as a customer), I dare to say that knowledge of health&safety is an absolute ZERO; level of hygiene is disgraceful. There is a lack of basic cleaning products, such as kitchen roll(kitchen roll dispensers most of the time are empty!!), sanitisers and disinfectants (if present) are seriously misused(D2 for washing the kitchen and dining area floors,cleaning the kitchen work tops,washing dishes ; D10 is used for the same purposes).
Food is kept in plastic(white and translucent) containers(some of them are lying in the bin area outside the pub and then, without washing, are used for preparing food), the same containers staff is using quite often as a bin as a result of the lack of bin bags.As the food preparation for the weekend is in process, boxes of meat lying around on the dirty floor as well as containers with veg. Maybe one or two chefs wear chefs hats,they use the same dirty clothes(which sometimes are kept together with mop heads ) for wiping hands,dishes,work tops,plates and so on.. Dirty oil is used in process of preparing rosted potatoes,yorkshire puddings ,etc.
green chopping boards(designated for veg.)are used for meat and other products (raw fish,etc.) and other kinds of chopping boards are misused too;red handed knifes used for vegetable,ect.
I have not seen a single chef washing his hands at ANY time (even after toilet); the state of staff toilet and changing area is absolutely scandalous!!
and so on,so on,so on...
All this equals food contamination.
And if anyone complains,that his food looks like it has been microwaved,most likely it has. 95%of food in Walton Arms is microwaved
After such an experience I wouldn't put my own health at risk by eating there and wouldn't recommend it to anybody .
