Royal Lochnagar Distillery Visitor Centre food hygiene rating
Manufacturers/packers · Aberdeenshire
Royal Lochnagar Distillery Visitor Centre passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the food producer met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 9 February 2012, more than 14 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.
