The Racquet Club Hotel & Ziba Restaurant food hygiene rating
Hotel/bed & breakfast/guest house · Liverpool
The Racquet Club Hotel & Ziba Restaurant holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The hotel 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 9 November 2022, more than 3 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.
