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.

The FSA feed provides the current food hygiene rating and its date, not itemized violations or a complete inspection history. It does not report health closures. Cooked checks daily; publication can lag behind an inspection. Read the date on each result and check the official source for newer information.
