A food truck in Coventry, known as The Khokha, has received a one-star hygiene rating following a recent inspection. This rating indicates significant issues related to food safety. The inspection took place in December 2025, conducted by inspectors from the Food Standards Agency.
Key Findings from the Inspection
Several critical concerns were noted during the evaluation:
- Poor hygienic practices in food handling.
- Inadequate knowledge of food safety protocols among staff.
- Substandard cleanliness and maintenance of facilities.
- Insufficient systems for ensuring food safety.
Concerns Over Food Safety Management
Inspectors emphasized that The Khokha must implement major improvements. The review raised doubts about the establishment’s ability to maintain consistent food safety standards. The Council indicated that the management of food safety at this outlet fell short of established requirements.
Next Steps for The Khokha
A representative from Coventry City Council stated that all food-selling businesses undergo routine inspections. The Khokha received a one-star rating after the December 9 inspection due to its failure to meet hygienic standards. Efforts are ongoing to assist the business in adhering to food safety laws.
While improvements can potentially influence future evaluations, these will not change the current rating automatically. The Khokha has the option to apply for a re-rating following significant changes. If no application is made, its rating will be reassessed during the next scheduled inspection.
