Fenny Stratford Convenience Store food hygiene rating
Retailers - other · Milton Keynes

The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 3 May 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.
