1,101 food businesses inspected. Average rating: 4.5 out of 5. 72.3% rated "very good".
Food hygiene ratings in Reigate and Banstead 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.
The source snapshot contains 1,101 registered food businesses for Reigate and Banstead. Of these, 912 have been rated under the FHRS. The area performs broadly in line with the national average, with 72.3% rated 5 out of 5. The average rating across the authority is 4.5 out of 5. The snapshot contains 18 businesses rated 0 or 1, meaning they required 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.

The source snapshot contains 659 food businesses in Reigate and Banstead with the highest FHRS rating of 5 (Very Good), representing 72.3% of all rated establishments. A rating of 5 means that the business was found to have very good hygiene standards at the time of inspection.
A food hygiene rating of 1 means 'Major Improvement Necessary'. This indicates that the food business was found to have significant problems with hygiene standards during its most recent inspection. The business is required to make substantial improvements. While it can remain open, it should be re-inspected to confirm improvements have been made.
Inspection frequency in Reigate and Banstead depends on the risk level of the business.

The local authority's environmental health team manages the inspection schedule.
