The Laughing Buddha food hygiene rating
Hotel/bed & breakfast/guest house · North Lanarkshire
The Laughing Buddha was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the hotel fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
This is a fresh result: The Laughing Buddha was inspected on 18 May 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.
