The Salmon Inn food hygiene rating
Pub/bar/nightclub · Scottish Borders
The Salmon Inn was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the pub fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
The rating dates from 28 April 2026, 2 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.
