Request a Rerating Visit

Notes For Businesses

The food business operator of an establishment which received a food hygiene rating between 0 – 4 at the last inspection can request a rerating inspection at any time following the last inspection.

If you wish to request a rerating inspection, please complete the online application using the button below. You must show what you have done to meet the requirements detailed on the report left at your business following the last inspection. It will help if you are also able to provide documents and/or photographs to support what you have said.  Payment must be made at the same time as submitting the application.

If the changes you have made are considered to be sufficient then a new inspection of your full food business operation will be undertaken.

You will not be told when the inspection will take place. During the inspection the officer will do a full check – they will look at everything again, not only the points raised before. At the end of the inspection they will give you a new food hygiene rating based on the level of compliance identified at the rerating inspection. Please note that your rating may increase, decrease, or stay the same.
