What the inspector found

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 CATS none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

Questions about CATS

What is CATS's food hygiene rating?

CATS has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Cardiff Council on 26 May 2026.

Is CATS safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this business to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was CATS last inspected?

CATS was last inspected on 26 May 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Cardiff Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at CATS?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

How does CATS compare to other places in Cardiff?

70% of the 3,034 rated food businesses in Cardiff hold the top rating of 5, and CATS is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Cardiff Council inspects CATS 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.
