Ysgol Carreghofa Owlets food hygiene rating
School/college/university · Powys
Ysgol Carreghofa Owlets holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the school kitchen met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good

What the inspector found
