Pastel food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Midlothian
Pastel was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the shop fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
The rating dates from 22 August 2025, 10 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.

When was Pastel last inspected?
Pastel was last inspected on 22 August 2025, 10 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Midlothian 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 Pastel and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
