Penlan RFC Kitchen food hygiene rating
Pub/bar/nightclub · Swansea
Penlan RFC Kitchen holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the pub are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.
The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 7 March 2024, more than 2 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.

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.
