The Sand Bothy food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Aberdeenshire
The Sand Bothy has no published result under Scotland's food hygiene scheme yet.
The rating: Awaiting inspection
The rating dates from 25 September 2017, more than 8 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.
