Sardinia food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Thanet

Sardinia holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the restaurant met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 15 May 2025, 14 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.

Address: 1-3 Albion Street, Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 1LU

What the inspector found

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Sardinia none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

Questions about Sardinia

What is Sardinia's food hygiene rating?

Sardinia has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Thanet Council on 15 May 2025.

Is Sardinia safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this restaurant to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Sardinia last inspected?

Sardinia was last inspected on 15 May 2025, 14 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Thanet Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Sardinia?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

How does Sardinia compare to other places in Thanet?

96% of the 1,484 rated food businesses in Thanet hold the top rating of 5, and Sardinia is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Thanet Council inspects Sardinia and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.

Tell me when this changes

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 Sardinia and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
