Nero food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · West Lothian
Nero 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
The rating dates from 8 April 2026, 3 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.

When was Nero last inspected?
Nero was last inspected on 8 April 2026, 3 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by West Lothian Council rather than by the business.

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Nero and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
