Food Safety Consultancy
Protect your kitchen. Protect your reputation.
Half of UK diners refuse to book where the hygiene rating is below 4. We help you reach a 5 first time — and keep it there.
The Stakes
The UK food safety challenge is not getting easier.
In the UK, every food business is scored 0 to 5 — and that score travels everywhere you do. It sits on your shopfront, appears next to your name on every delivery platform, and lives on the FSA’s public register that customers, suppliers and insurers all check. A 5 quietly does its job: it earns trust, protects bookings, and keeps inspections routine. A 1 does the opposite — bookings fall, reviews turn, partners start asking questions, and EHOs come back sooner. Same kitchen, same menu, same team. The only thing that’s changed is the number on the door.

What is your current rating costing you?
52% of UK diners only book where the hygiene rating is 4 or above. A rating below that quietly excludes you from a large share of the market — every month it’s on display.
The 4+ Rating Threshold
52% of UK diners only book where the FSA hygiene rating is 4 or above. Below 4, half your potential market filters you out before they ever read your menu.
Rising Vigilance
55% of UK consumers checked a hygiene rating in the last 12 months — up from 41% pre‑pandemic. The audience watching is growing.

Each service is designed for a specific risk level. Whether you're preparing for a first inspection or recovering from a crisis, we have a solution built for you.
