Inspection detail

What inspectors recorded

These are intervention scores published by the FSA. They are not customer-review scores: lower intervention scores indicate better compliance.

Read this correctly

A hygiene rating is a snapshot, not a customer review.

The score reflects food handling, the physical condition of the premises and confidence in food-safety management at the time of inspection. It does not rate taste, service or value. Councils remain the authoritative source.

For food-business operators

Use the rating as a starting point—not a compliance plan.

Check the official record first. Training, software and insurance are separate commercial decisions and cannot change an inspection result shown here.
