Oxfordshire Hotel Faces Hygiene Charges Over Safety Concerns

The Kings Arm Hotel faces some problems. It is located in Market Square, Bicester. They have eight charges about food safety. These charges concern EU rules.

The hotel allegedly failed to keep things clean. The building wasn’t in good repair, either. The layout may not allow good hygiene. It might not protect against contamination from pests. They also face charges on food handling.

Staff might not have had enough training. The hotel may not have kept up procedures. The Hazard Analysis system may be lacking. The charges date back to December 9, 2023. They are under food safety laws.

These laws are from 2013 in England. G & D Operations Limited owns the hotel. This company is from Stoke-on-Trent. The owners must go to court.

The court date is February 21 at 10am. A guilty verdict could mean a big fine. The fine could be unlimited. The hotel advertises a garden and free parking. It boasts a terrace and bar as well.

The Food Standards Agency checked them last June. They earned a five-star rating then. That rating reflects their food hygiene standards.
