Mansel News And Off Licence food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Swansea

The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 26 October 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.
