Jamies News & Convenience Store food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Brent

The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 18 May 2024, more than 2 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.
