The First Edition food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · East Ayrshire

The First Edition passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the restaurant met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.

The rating: Pass

This is a fresh result: The First Edition was inspected on 14 May 2026, so the rating reflects what the inspector found very recently.

Address: The First Edition, 50 Bank Street, Kilmarnock, KA1 1EY

Questions about The First Edition

What is The First Edition's food hygiene rating?

The First Edition does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Pass".

When was The First Edition last inspected?

The First Edition was last inspected on 14 May 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by East Ayrshire Council rather than by the business.

Who decides the rating?

East Ayrshire Council inspects The First Edition 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.

Tell me when this changes

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch The First Edition and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
