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:
How food is handled, prepared, and stored. Lower = better. 0 is perfect, 25 is worst.
Condition of the building — cleanliness, layout, ventilation. Lower = better. 0 is perfect, 25 is worst.
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.
