How Food Hygiene Ratings Work

Every food business in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland is inspected by local council officers and given a food hygiene rating from 0 to 5:

5Very good
4Good
3Generally satisfactory
2Improvement needed
1Major improvement needed
0Urgent improvement needed

What are the H/S/C sub-scores?

Behind each rating, inspectors assess three areas and give a score where lower is better:

  • Hygiene (H)How hygienically food is prepared, cooked, reheated, cooled, and stored. 0 = very good, 25 = urgent improvement
  • Structural (S)The condition of the building — cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation. 0 = very good, 25 = urgent improvement
  • Confidence (C)How well the business manages food safety — records, training, procedures. 0 = very good, 30 = urgent improvement

A perfect score is 0/0/0 — meaning very good across all three areas. Not all establishments receive sub-scores.
