Other Guernsey establishments rated one-star in the latest list are the White D'Or, Iceland in Vale Avenue, La Trelade Hotel and Les Alouettes Residential Care Home in Castel.

The Rohais Chinese was given a zero-rating in February this year, but after making a number of improvements that was upgraded to four stars.

However, in a recent inspection by Environmental Health and Pollution Regulation, it was downgraded to a one star.

The takeaway is owned by Guang Yau Wang and his wife, Cuiyu. She said the downgrading was to do with the organisation of the fridge contents.

They had done everything that they had been asked to do by the inspector, she said. 'Everything is perfect now.'

She added that they had asked the inspector to return to re-score the premises.

Upgrades to the establishment in February included new floor panelling, changes to paperwork and a temperature gauge for hot water.

Jayson Perfect, the managing director of the Liberation Group, which owns the White D'Or, said: 'The rating given by the Environment Health Office is no reflection of the food offering but due to substantial £30,000 of works that were being undertaken at the time of the last visit 18 months ago.

'Therefore, the EHO could not rate the pub and a default one rating was given. We are awaiting our revisit by the EHO to get an actual rating.

'Food standards at the White D'Or, as always, remain extremely high.'

Sandpiper, which operates the franchise for Iceland, said: 'The brand new Vale Iceland store complies with all Guernsey's food hygiene and safety procedures.

'Following teething issues, and Environmental Health's helpful comments about warehouse arrangements, layout and a malfunctioning door, Sandpiper has since made adjustments and recently asked Environmental Health to re-evaluate the store's rating.'

La Trelade Hotel, which was given the rating earlier this year and re-inspected in June, declined to comment.

The manager of Les Alouettes Residential Care Home was unavailable to comment due to holiday, however is expected to comment soon.
