Tankerton Kebabs food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Canterbury City
Tankerton Kebabs holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The takeaway 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
