Food businesses in Hillingdon are rated under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, which has replaced Scores on the Doors.
Are you planning to eat out in the borough? Check the rating given to restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways, hotels, supermarkets and other food business.

Check whether your business is within the scope of Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, this includes:
The aim is to provide information on hygiene standards to consumers in circumstances where they are making a choice about eating or purchasing food.
Certain businesses that supply food direct to consumers are, however, not given a rating because specific circumstances apply.
Specific circumstances
If you are out of scope of FHRS but you believe that the lack of a food hygiene rating is prejudicial to trade you may request a rating from the us.
If you think your hygiene rating is wrong or unfair, you must lodge an appeal within 14 days of being told what your hygiene rating is.
If you have improved hygiene standards since your inspection, or if there were unusual circumstances at the time of the inspection and you want to explain this to your customers, you should submit your improvements and it will be published with your hygiene rating at food hygiene rating website.
If you have made improvements to your hygiene standards since your last inspection, you will need to supply evidence of the improvements in your request for a re-visit. The food safety officer will re-assess hygiene standards and re-rate your business for a charge of £192.50 per re-rating inspection.
To request a re-visit please contact us at foodhealthandsafety@hillingdon.gov.uk.
