A new care home chef has helped Potton View Care home to achieve a 5 star food safety certificate.
Mark Cruse-Jungling who only started work at the care home in the village of Gamlingay in March was thrown in at the deep end when food safety inspectors visited the care home where Black Swan Care Group provides support to 30 people.
Mark and his kitchen team passed the inspection with flying colours and were awarded the highest rating – a 5 star food safety certificate.
Mark explained: “It was a bit of a whirlwind start to be honest, but it’s something that we are always aware of and an essential part of my role.
"The inspection is thorough – they look at kitchen cleanliness, how we store our food, food preparation areas and lots more.
"We provide our residents with fresh, healthy and nutritious food, catering for all sorts of different dietary needs, and our meals are an important element of living in a care home."
