What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Improvement necessary
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Improvement necessary
- How well they manage food safety Major improvement necessary
An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Bay of Bengal the inspector recorded concerns over how food is handled, the condition of the premises and confidence in management. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Questions about Bay of Bengal
What is Bay of Bengal's food hygiene rating?
Bay of Bengal has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 (major improvement necessary), given by Pembrokeshire Council on 30 July 2026.
Is Bay of Bengal safe to eat at?
A 1 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The restaurant is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.
When was Bay of Bengal last inspected?
Bay of Bengal was last inspected on 30 July 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Pembrokeshire Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Bay of Bengal?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "improvement necessary", the cleanliness and condition of the building "improvement necessary", and confidence in the management of food safety "major improvement necessary". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Bay of Bengal compare to other places in Pembrokeshire?
79% of the 1,855 rated food businesses in Pembrokeshire hold the top rating of 5, while Bay of Bengal holds a 1. 17 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Pembrokeshire Council inspects Bay of Bengal 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.

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Bay of Bengal and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

Is this your business?
A rating of 1 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Pembrokeshire, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
