Search any Birmingham restaurant's food hygiene rating — the rating the city posted, the violations behind it where the city publishes them, and the inspection history. Straight from UK Food Standards Agency + West Midlands councils, refreshed daily, no account needed.
Ranked by Cooked's 0–100 risk score, which blends the city's own rating with violation counts. Only spots inspected in the last two years are eligible.
95 neighborhoods, every one with its own inspection list.
Birmingham and the wider West Midlands run the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme: a single 0 to 5 rating where higher is better. A 5 is very good, a 3 is generally satisfactory, and a 0 means urgent improvement is necessary. The number combines hygienic food handling, the physical condition of the premises, and the inspector’s confidence in management. Each West Midlands council inspects its own patch against the same national standard, so a 4 in Solihull means what a 4 means in Birmingham. The FSA publishes the rating and its date, but never the itemized findings.
Of the 14,320 Birmingham restaurants Cooked tracks, 10,048 are currently rated clean, 1,180 are mid, and 808 are cooked — about 83% of rated spots come back clean.
Directly from UK Food Standards Agency + West Midlands councils, published as open data through Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. Cooked refreshes it daily and does not edit, score or rerank the results — the rating you see is the one the city issued.
That varies by risk and by city policy, and a restaurant can be re-inspected sooner after a bad result. The most recent inspection in Cooked's Birmingham data is dated 22 July 2026.
