Is Blank Street clean?
UK Food Standards Agency + West Midlands councils has not published a current food hygiene rating for Blank Street, though it does have an inspection on record from January 1, 1901. That usually means the place is new, recently changed hands, or files under a different name with the city. No rating is not the same as a bad rating.
What did inspectors find at Blank Street?
An empty list here means the data does not exist, not that the kitchen was spotless.
When was Blank Street last inspected?
The current rating was given on 1 January 1901. The Food Standards Agency publishes only the rating in force right now, not a history of past visits, so there is no timeline to show. Ratings are typically revisited every six months to two years depending on the risk the premises carries.

How Birmingham grades 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.
