Exchange Bar food hygiene rating
Pub/bar/nightclub · Scottish Borders
Exchange Bar passed its most recent food hygiene inspection. Scotland's scheme does not award star ratings, a pass means the pub met the legal standard on the day it was inspected.
The rating: Pass
The rating dates from 27 March 2019, more than 7 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.
