Delicious food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Mid Ulster

Delicious 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 23 January 2026, 5 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: 3 St. Patricks Street, Moykeeran, Draperstown, BT45 7AJ

How it compares in Mid Ulster

That puts Delicious among the 1,133 places in Mid Ulster holding top marks, 89% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

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 Delicious 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.

What is Delicious's food hygiene rating?

Delicious has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Mid Ulster Council on 23 January 2026.

Is Delicious 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 Delicious last inspected?

Delicious was last inspected on 23 January 2026, 5 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Mid Ulster Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Delicious?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very 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 Delicious compare to other places in Mid Ulster?

89% of the 1,277 rated food businesses in Mid Ulster hold the top rating of 5, and Delicious is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Mid Ulster Council inspects Delicious 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.
