Rubbal's food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · West Lothian
Rubbal's was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the takeaway fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
This is a fresh result: Rubbal's was inspected on 28 July 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.
