Old Down Country Park food hygiene rating

Old Down Country Park holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The business 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 11 February 2026, 5 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.

An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up.
