Cubley Hall food hygiene rating

Cubley Hall has a food hygiene rating of 0 out of 5 (urgent improvement necessary), given by Barnsley Council on 17 June 2026.

A 0 means urgent improvement is necessary: the inspector found serious problems. The pub may still be trading, because a rating is not a closure order, but this is the lowest score the scheme gives.

Cubley Hall was last inspected on 17 June 2026, 2 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Barnsley Council rather than by the business.

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "major improvement necessary", the cleanliness and condition of the building "improvement necessary", and confidence in the management of food safety "major improvement necessary". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

83% of the 1,633 rated food businesses in Barnsley hold the top rating of 5, while Cubley Hall holds a 0. 11 places in the area share that rating.

Yes. Businesses have a right to reply, published alongside the rating.

Barnsley Council inspects Cubley Hall and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
