The coffee company said the latest rating was "unfortunate".

It said its site in London Road recently received a five-out-of-five score.

A spokesperson for the company said: "A new member of staff was present at the time, I was out of the country and our manager was on her day off so it was just bad luck for us.

"We can assure our customers we have procedures in place to always ensure our cakes/sandwiches are fresh and safe to consume."
