A cafe dedicated to making and selling different kinds of waffles which was set up off the back of the first lockdown has received its first 5 star hygiene rating.
The Waffle Box, based in Mold, received the top of the scale grade earlier this month having just celebrated their six month anniversary on December 8.
Mum-of-two and manager of three restaurants in Cheshire, Lynsey Jones, found herself with time on her hands during the first lockdown in March 2020 having been put on furlough.

Lynsey, who lives in Pantymwyn, Flintshire with her husband and two children, decided to turn the boredom into an opportunity and threw all of her efforts into setting up The Waffle box, alongside her sister Dionne, who has 15 years’ experience as a baker.
Working alongside Dionne is their general manager Ben Redwood, who has over 20 years’ experience in hospitality and is managing everything front of house.
And it seems they all make a great team, having impressed the local authority in all areas.
Lynsey said: "I’ve worked in the world of hospitality for over 10 years now.
"I have always wanted a venue of my own.
"My children go to school in Mold and they love waffles.
"With the global demand for both savoury and sweet options increasing it felt right that this should be our focus.
"We received glowing feedback from the local authority.

"Keep an eye on our forthcoming January activity as we launch into some healthy options to take us into 2022!"
