When was Element last inspected?
Element was last inspected on 22 May 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Edinburgh (City of) Council rather than by the business.

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Element and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
