Common Questions

How do I check a restaurant's food hygiene rating?

Enter the business name or postcode in the search bar above. We'll show the official FSA rating, available score breakdown and inspection date for matching businesses.

What do food hygiene ratings 0–5 mean?

Under the FHRS, 5 means very good, 4 good, 3 generally satisfactory, 2 improvement necessary, 1 major improvement necessary and 0 urgent improvement necessary.

Where does the rating data come from?

Rating data comes from the Food Standards Agency public service/API. The FSA and the responsible local authority remain the authoritative sources if a record appears incorrect or has recently changed.

My local authority already told me what's wrong. Why do I need this?

Your inspection report should remain your primary record of the specific issues found. The Re-Inspection Ready Kit uses the available FHRS score areas to help you organise follow-up work and evidence; it does not replace the report or professional advice.

How quickly can I request a re-rating?

A business can use the FHRS requested re-rating safeguard after making the necessary improvements, but fees, forms and timing vary by jurisdiction and local authority. Check the current process with the authority named on your official FSA record before applying.
