Food hygiene ratings

Which businesses get a rating and what the ratings mean. How to display the rating, appeal a rating or request a hygiene rating revisit.

Request a food hygiene rating revisit

You can ask for a revisit at any time to: 

  • score your business again
  • issue a new food hygiene rating

When you request a revisit, you must give details of:

  • the improvements you’ve made 
  • supporting evidence, such as photos

It costs £244.15 for the revisit.

The revisit will be unannounced, and the inspecting officer will check whether you've made the necessary improvements and met the overall food hygiene standards. Your rating could go up, down, or remain the same.
