Any restaurant, cafe or takeaway in England, Wales or Northern Ireland — by name or postcode. The latest 0–5 rating and inspection date, straight from the Food Standards Agency register.
Environmental Health Officers score three areas at every inspection: hygienic food handling; the physical condition and cleanliness of the premises; and food safety management — the HACCP procedures, training and temperature records that prove the kitchen is under control. A 5 means "very good" compliance in all three; see food hygiene ratings explained for the full 0–5 scale.
Ratings are public and re-issued after every inspection. London businesses can compare nearby venues on the London food hygiene ratings map. If you're checking your own business and don't like the number, our free self-audit shows documentary gaps in five minutes, and the free HACCP plan template UK covers the paperwork itself.
The checker queries the FSA register live — you see exactly what the official record shows, including the latest inspection date.
New businesses appear after their first inspection. Some venues are registered under a different trading name — try the postcode instead.
