Birmingham health inspections, explained

How does Birmingham grade restaurants?

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.

How many Birmingham restaurants have a clean rating?

Of the 15,097 Birmingham restaurants Cooked tracks, 10,288 are currently rated clean, 1,238 are mid, and 856 are cooked — about 83% of rated spots come back clean.

Where does this Birmingham inspection data come from?

Directly from UK Food Standards Agency + West Midlands councils, published as open data through Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. Cooked preserves the source result and adds its own clean, mid or cooked comparison. These labels and list rankings are Cooked’s interpretation, not extra findings from the authority.

How often are Birmingham restaurants inspected?

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 3 September 2026.
