Happy House Chinese Takeaway food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Reigate and Banstead

The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

What the inspector found

- Cleanliness & condition of the building Generally satisfactory
- 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 Happy House Chinese Takeaway 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.
