Waterstones food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Dumfries and Galloway
Waterstones has no published result under Scotland's food hygiene scheme yet.
The rating: Exempt
The rating dates from 24 October 2016, more than 9 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.
