Lucky House food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Wakefield

Lucky House holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the takeaway met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 6 May 2025, 14 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

Address: 36-38 Cow Lane, Knottingley, WF11 9BY
