What's the most common restaurants & pubs finding you record in NG24?

Across Newark restaurants & pubs sites the recurring issue is listed-building escape routes with non-compliant door widths, followed by agricultural buildings with no formal fra in place. Both are closable on a single follow-up visit in most cases.

How quickly can Parsec Fire attend a restaurants & pubs site in Newark?

Newark is roughly 18 road miles from our Phoenix Street HQ — typically 32 minutes off-peak via A1 (Newark). Same-day visits are common; routine bookings are usually within 5 working days.

Do we need a wet-chemical extinguisher in the kitchen?

If you have any deep-fat frying, yes — water, foam and CO2 are unsafe on a fryer fire. The wet-chemical extinguisher should be mounted within the cooking area and trained on by all kitchen staff.

How often should kitchen extract be cleaned?

TR/19 sets the frequency based on hours of use — heavy use (12+ hours/day) is quarterly, moderate use is six-monthly, light use is annual. Failure to clean is the most common cause of insurance claims being declined.

Newark's restaurants & pubs stock — concentrated around Newark town centre — is one of the more frequent reasons we field a same-week booking. Most jobs start with a council letter, an insurer renewal, or a remedial after we've flagged listed-building escape routes with non-compliant door widths on a similar site nearby.

Legal context

What the law actually requires for restaurants & pubs duty-holders in Newark

Hospitality premises are higher risk under the RRO 2005. Where there's residential accommodation above (publican's flat, staff rooms, B&B), the assessment must address the full vertical fire strategy. Local Environmental Health and licensing teams often request sight of the fire risk assessment as part of premises licence reviews. Inside NG24 we see Newark and Sherwood District Council ask for this evidence verbatim at routine inspection, which is why our wording mirrors theirs.

Annual review, full reassessment every 1–2 years, plus immediately after kitchen refurb, change of menu (e.g. introducing a deep-fat fryer) or change of upstairs use.
