The Granville food hygiene rating
Pub/bar/nightclub · Canterbury City
The Granville 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
The rating dates from 25 June 2026, 2 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.
This sits in the middle for Canterbury City, where 1% of rated places score below 3 and 91% score 4 or 5. See all Canterbury City ratings →
