How to read this brief
20 downgrades
These are meaningful inspection records Cooked first received between 12 October 2026 and 18 October 2026. The authority may have performed an inspection earlier and published it later, so every restaurant below carries the inspection’s actual date.
An inspection is a dated official record, not a guarantee about every meal before or after it.

How Birmingham’s rating works
the FSA rates 0–5 (higher is better): clean = 4 or 5, mid = 3, cooked = 2 or below.
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.
