Understanding Food Hygiene Ratings

Food businesses are inspected by local council officers and given a rating from 0 (urgent improvement needed) to 5 (very good). The rating is based on three areas:

🧤 Hygiene (H)

How food is handled, prepared, and stored. Lower = better. 0 is perfect, 25 is worst.

🏗️ Structural (S)

Condition of the building — cleanliness, layout, ventilation. Lower = better. 0 is perfect, 25 is worst.

📋 Confidence (C)

Management of food safety — training, records, procedures. Lower = better. 0 is perfect, 30 is worst.

A score of 0/0/0 means very good across all areas. Not all establishments receive sub-scores — some business types are scored differently.
