GDS Church of Scotland & Solace Recovery Cafe food hygiene rating
Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Edinburgh (City of)
GDS Church of Scotland & Solace Recovery Cafe was told improvement was required at its most recent inspection. Under Scotland's scheme that means the inspector found the restaurant fell short of the legal standard and expects it to put things right.
The rating: Improvement required
The rating dates from 30 November 2017, more than 8 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.
