A clean-sheet inspection.

All three axes scored well. Temperature control, cleanliness, and management records all passed inspection. The venue can display a 5-star sticker in its window, and based on this inspection, it earned it.

Classified as a takeaway operation. This inspection is fresh, so the picture here should still reflect current practice. Scotland uses a simplified Pass / Improvement Required scheme, so there is no 0-5 number on the sticker.
