Appeal now

If we give you a food hygiene rating of less than five, we will provide you with information about the appeal process.

To appeal your rating, you will need:

  • to submit your appeal within 21 days from the day you receive your rating
  • details about your business, including the business name and address
  • information about your latest inspection, and the rating you were given
  • the reasons you disagree with your rating

Once we receive your appeal, we will:

  • review the inspection report, to determine whether your rating is justified  
  • inform you of our decision in writing with 21 days of receiving your appeal
