I AM writing with reference to your feature on the shocking hygiene standards of certain businesses in our area in last week's issue.
My staff and I have worked very hard to achieve the maximum five star food safety rating at our retail butcher's shop 'Scotch Corner' in Milton Road, Weston. We have also managed to gain the same top rating at our butchery-catering unit, 'Havercrofts', in Warne Road, Weston. These achievements have taken a lot of hard work and dedication from my whole team so it came as a great shock and disappointment when some people thought that we were the 'Milton Butchers' named and shamed in your feature. This seems to have occurred simply because we are on the same road as them. The name 'Milton Butchers' seems to have been assumed as a general statement and not recognised as an actual name of a butcher's shop.
It would be very much appreciated if you could print this letter in order to inform our loyal customers and any potential new customers, that we are in no way associated with 'Milton Butchers' and that we will strive to continue to offer the highest of standards always, when handling and storing their food products.
