What inspectors recorded

Why can a 5/5 business have scores of 0?

The overall food hygiene rating runs from 0 to 5, where 5 is best. The three technical intervention scores run in the opposite direction, where 0 is best. We show the FSA's plain-English standard first so the result is easier to understand.

For example: 0 = Very good · 5 = Good · 10 = Generally satisfactory

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.
