Food hygiene ratings

Most but not all food businesses get a food hygiene rating. Ratings are allocated by inspectors following their inspection of the business.

Ratings range from 0 to 5, with 5 being the best.

• 5 = very good
• 4 = good
• 3 = generally satisfactory
• 2 = improvement necessary 
• 1 = major improvement necessary 
• 0 = urgent improvement necessary 

When we've inspected your premises we'll give you a sticker showing your food hygiene rating. You should display this where customers can see it before they come into your premises, ideally in a window.
