Brian And Sue's Diner food hygiene rating
Mobile caterer · Swale
Brian And Sue's Diner holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The mobile caterer 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

What the inspector found

- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory
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 Brian And Sue's Diner 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.
