The Doo'cot Restaurant food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Aberdeenshire
The Doo'cot Restaurant passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the restaurant met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 16 April 2025, 14 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.
