Questions about Criterion Bar
What is Criterion Bar's food hygiene rating?
Criterion Bar does not have a numeric food hygiene rating. Its current status is "Pass".
When was Criterion Bar last inspected?
Criterion Bar was last inspected on 14 May 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles) Council rather than by the business.
Who decides the rating?
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles) Council inspects Criterion Bar and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.
