How old are these ratings?
17 of the 155 ratings in Cardiff were given more than 3 years ago and are marked in the list. Councils schedule food hygiene inspections by risk, so a well-run pub can go years between visits. An old rating records the pub on the day of its inspection. How this directory works.
