Food hygiene rating scheme
All food businesses in ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ are regularly visited by our team of environmental health officers to review and rate their hygiene standards. After each inspection the food business will receive one of the following ratings:
- 5 (very good)
- 4 (good)
- 3 (generally satisfactory)
- 2 (improvement necessary)
- 1 (major improvement necessary)
- 0 (urgent improvement necessary)
Challenging your rating
If you believe your food hygiene rating is unfair, you can:
- appeal your rating
- request a revisit
- use your ‘right to reply’ to have your own response to the rating appear alongside it
