Rank 136 of 362 UK authorities (1 = fastest).

Measured from a business appearing in the published FSA dataset to its first rating appearing there. Authorities publish with delays (appeal windows, batch updates), so this reflects the register's speed, not necessarily inspection speed.

Think a rating is wrong, or a business is trading here but not listed? The food safety team for this area deals with both. If you run a business here and want a better score, how to improve a food hygiene rating sets out the three ways to respond and which of them needs this team.

These are the contact details the council gives the Food Standards Agency, shown as published. Your message goes to the council, not to us.
