WN Trading Ltd T/A The FingerPost food hygiene rating
Pub/bar/nightclub · Stockport
WN Trading Ltd T/A The FingerPost holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The pub met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.
The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory
