West Stow and Wordwell Mens Club food hygiene rating
Pub/bar/nightclub · West Suffolk
West Stow and Wordwell Mens Club holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the pub are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.
The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 3 December 2003, more than 22 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.
