You can only get a copy of the inspection by doing a freedom of information request from the Council.

I think all the inspection reports should be freely downloadable. I also think the establishment should have to display is rating in a very prominent place, a bit like a taxi has to have its license on show.

This would push the poor places into making improvements or they would get less trade.

Would you go and eat at a place with a zero rating stuck on the front door?

whilst i agree there is a need fer standards ratings, nevertheless they can be a bit misleading, we had the misfortune to visit one rated 4 last week, the food was minging.

At least you know that the rubbish food you ate was reasonably hygienically prepared

True, just that rating 4 seems a bit strange to me. mind you twas a last min thing, so own fault really.

Food Standards Agency - 0

And one for a rating of 1

Food Standards Agency - 1

Judging by the driving standards of some local taxi drivers i don't think having their licence on show makes any differrance...

we when there tonight flashy.
food was very average but not rubbish and the only strong smell was my lambs navy rum.Must have caught it on a good night though because i got 7 chips

Went to O'marleys Red Lion ( back to original name ) off whitebirk roundabout last night. Anyone else been ?
You can eat or drink in bar if you want but we eat in the nice back restaurant section.
They have large menu but we decided on the £ 8.95 for 2 courses menu.
We had prawn cocktail and pate,then braised steak and a lasagna,had glasss of red wine each,All Very nice indeed.
They also do main course and drink deal £6.95 before 7 pm midweek.
First time ever been so would be interesting to see if anyone else has tried it and if its always decent.
