The Tenth Hole Tea Room food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Wiltshire
The Tenth Hole Tea Room 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
The rating dates from 11 August 2025, 11 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.

- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory

At The Tenth Hole Tea Room 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.
