This rating dates from 10 June 2024, but the business has been re-inspected and a new rating is awaiting publication, so the score shown here is about to change.

What the inspector found

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 The Market Cafe 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.
