How London’s rating works

the FSA rates 0–5 (higher is better): clean = 4 or 5, mid = 3, cooked = 2 or below.

London runs the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, where every food business gets a single number from 0 to 5 and higher is better: 5 is very good, 3 is generally satisfactory, and 0 means urgent improvement is necessary. The rating combines three judgements made on the day — how hygienically food is handled, the condition of the premises, and how much confidence the inspector has in management. Each of the 33 London boroughs employs its own inspectors, but the scale is identical everywhere. The FSA publishes the rating and its date, but not the individual issues found.
