Kent kebab house food hygiene rating
Distributors/Transporters · Ashford
Kent kebab house holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the distributor 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 22 April 2026, 2 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.
