Siena Co-operative Ltd T/A The Southern Co-operative food hygiene rating
Retailers - supermarkets/hypermarkets · Arun
Siena Co-operative Ltd T/A The Southern Co-operative holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The supermarket 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 1 May 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.
