Shaw pub gains top five-star hygiene rating

The Shay Wake in Shaw

The Shay Wake, in Shaw, has gained the top rating for its levels of hygiene in the council’s Scores on the Doors programme.

The pub, Milnrow Road in Shaw, was awarded a five-star rating by the council’s inspectors.

Scores on the Doors aims to highlight hygiene standards in pubs, restaurants, take-aways and clubs across the borough.

Inspectors judge outlets on and each business is benchmarked against the same criteria namely: hygiene, structural and confidence in management.

Pub manager Hollie Parry-Jones said: “We are delighted that we have gained the top rating and I’m sure our customers will welcome the news too.

“Standards of hygiene at the pub are of paramount importance.

“All of the staff work hard to ensure that the pub offers its customers the highest levels of hygiene at all time and we are delighted that our efforts have been recognised with the five-star rating.”
