Notes for businesses:

  • As the food business operator of the establishment you have a right to request a re-visit for the purposes of re-rating if you have taken action to rectify the non-compliances identified at the time of inspection.

  • You can make one request for a re-visit per each planned statutory inspection by the local authority and you can make this at any time after the statutory inspection provided that you have made the required improvements.

  • You must provide details of the improvements made with your request, including supporting evidence where appropriate.

  • If we consider a revisit is appropriate and payment has been made, an Officer will make an unannounced revisit to your premises within 3 months of the receipt of your request and full payment of the fee.

  • The local authority officer will give you a "new" food hygiene rating based on the level of compliance that is found at the time of the re-visit - you should be aware that your rating could go up, down or remain the same.

  • To make a request for a revisit, please complete and submit this form.

  • Due to the extra demand on resources there will be charge of £180 for this service. Please have your debit/credit card details ready as this request cannot be completed without online payment.
