Abbey Hulton Sports & Social Club food hygiene rating
Pub/bar/nightclub · Stoke-On-Trent

The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 28 March 2018, more than 8 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.
