Cafe Limelight food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Cornwall

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 21 April 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.
