Testimonials

Here are two: one from a well known gastro food pub group in Sussex/Kent that has achieved high standards of food hygiene across all sites as a result of working closely with our team; and one from probably the best farm shop and cafe in West Sussex.

"Elite pubs have been working with Challenger for just over two years now. During this period they have
helped us achieve and maintain a high standard in food safety, which has resulted in excellent food hygiene ratings, has helped build good relations with EHO inspectors, and has minimised food related complaints. Carl is always available to help the business, works well with the team, and has made a big difference. It has been a pleasure working with him and long may it continue.."

Executive Chef - Elite Pub Company (Kent & Sussex)

We’ve had the pleasure of partnering with Challenger since May 2024. Carl’s professionalism is exceptional, and his ability to simplify complex food safety systems has made implementation and maintenance straightforward. Over the past year, we've also worked closely with Nicola, whose expertise and communication skills complement Carl’s perfectly. Together, they provide a seamless and efficient service. I highly recommend Challenger to anyone seeking a personable, reliable, and cost-effective food safety partner.
