Food hygiene inspections

Appeal your rating

If you feel your food hygiene rating is not fair, you have 21 days from when we issued the rating to appeal it.

We encourage you to speak to the person who carried out the inspection first. If you cannot resolve the issue, you can make a formal appeal to the Environmental Health manager.

To make an appeal, you need to complete the food hygiene rating scheme appeal form and return it to us.

The lead food officer will make a decision on your appeal and will let you know the outcome within 21 days of your appeal.

The rating will not be published on the food hygiene rating scheme website until the appeal has been decided.

However, you can request that the rating is published before the end of the appeal period by completing the form to request early publication of rating
