Food hygiene inspections and training

Unfair ratings

If you think your Food Hygiene Rating is unfair, you can:

  • Appeal
  • Use your right to reply
  • Request a revisit

Appeal

You should speak to us about your rating before you appeal. We'll explain why we gave you the rating. 

If you disagree with our reasons, you can appeal.

Right to reply

You have the right to reply to tell us how you've improved your hygiene or let us know there were unusual circumstances at the time of your inspection.

Request a revisit

You can request a revisit if you make the improvements we told you about at your inspection. We'll complete another inspection with a view to giving you a higher rating.

Cost to request a revisit 

It costs £195 to request a revisit.
