Johnnie's Fish Bar & Kebab House food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · Kensington and Chelsea
Johnnie's Fish Bar & Kebab House holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The takeaway 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 8 September 2025, 10 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.
