1,486 food businesses inspected. Average rating: 4.8 out of 5. 88.0% rated "very good".
Food hygiene ratings in King's Lynn and West Norfolk are assessed under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS), operated by the Food Standards Agency in partnership with local authorities. Every food business that handles, stores, prepares, or sells food is inspected by trained environmental health officers. Ratings run from 0 (urgent improvement necessary) to 5 (very good). The inspection covers hygienic food handling, the physical condition of the premises, and how food safety is managed.
King's Lynn and West Norfolk currently has 1,486 registered food businesses. Of these, 1,341 have been rated under the FHRS. The area performs well above the national average, with 88.0% of businesses achieving the top rating of 5. The average rating across the authority is 4.8 out of 5. There are currently 10 businesses rated 0 or 1, meaning they require urgent or major improvement to meet food hygiene standards.
If you are eating out in this area, look for the green FHRS sticker displayed at the entrance of food premises. Businesses rated 3 or above are generally considered satisfactory, but a rating of 5 gives the strongest assurance. If a business has a low rating, it does not necessarily mean the food is unsafe right now, as improvements may have been made since the last inspection, but it does indicate that significant issues were found.
