Generally satisfactory, room for improvement.
Acceptable, but with observed issues the inspector expects to see addressed. A 3 is neither a pass nor a fail, it's a warning shot.
Classified as a sit-down food business. This inspection is fresh, so the picture here should still reflect current practice. Northern Ireland requires venues to display their sticker by law, so the rating you see here should match the one in the window.
