Disco Bowl (Newport) food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Newport
Disco Bowl (Newport) holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The restaurant met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.
The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

What the inspector found

At Disco Bowl (Newport) 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.
