Score
The Polo Club at Npc has been inspected nine times since 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 13, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly six violations earlier in the record.
“Dented/rusted cans present” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
Compared to the broader Wellington restaurant scene, where the average is 71, this is a stronger showing. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
