Questions people ask
What does a restaurant’s food hygiene rating cover?
The inspector checks three things: how food is handled, prepared, cooked, cooled and stored; the state of the kitchen and building, including cleaning, ventilation and pest control; and how the business manages food safety and keeps its records. It doesn’t judge the taste, the service or the prices, so a small family place can score 5 and a smart one can score 2.
Which restaurants in Preston are rated 5 for hygiene?
199 of the 281 rated restaurants across Preston had a 5 at their last inspection. Among them: Top Bistro, The Grumpy Baker and Tikka Station.
Can a restaurant with a low rating get a better one?
Yes. Once it has put things right it can ask the council to come back and re-rate it, sometimes for a fee, and it can appeal a rating it thinks is unfair. Until a new inspection the old rating stands, so check the date beside each one here.
Do restaurants have to display their hygiene rating?
Not in England: showing the sticker is up to the business, though most with a good score do. In Wales and Northern Ireland it’s the law. You can look any rating up on the Food Standards Agency’s website, or on each business’s page here.
