How to read this brief
10 downgrades · 10 recoverys
These are meaningful inspection records Cooked first received between 10 August 2026 and 16 August 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 Manchester’s rating works
the FSA rates 0–5 (higher is better): clean = 4 or 5, mid = 3, cooked = 2 or below.
Greater Manchester runs the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme: one number from 0 to 5, where higher is better. A 5 is very good, a 3 is generally satisfactory, and a 0 means urgent improvement is necessary. The rating blends three things the inspector judges on the day — hygienic food handling, the state of the building and equipment, and confidence in how the place is managed. The ten Greater Manchester councils each run their own inspection teams against the same national scale. The FSA publishes the rating and the date it was given, but not the specific problems found.
