How Manchester grades restaurants

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.

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.
