The Whitwell & Reepham Station food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Broadland
The Whitwell & Reepham Station holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The restaurant met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.
The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory
