Know the day a rating changes.
The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today. Ask it what a place scored last year and it has no answer. So we read every council's published data each night, compare it to the night before, and email you what moved.
Watch a business, free
No password. We send you a link, and that link is your account. Watch up to 3 businesses for nothing, forever.
Why nobody else can tell you this
Every rating on this page comes from the Food Standards Agency, free and open. But the FSA keeps only the current one. Its own history endpoint returns an empty list. There is no archive to buy, at any price, the only way to know what a business scored before is to have been watching, every night, since before you needed to know.
We have been watching 609,653 UK food businesses since 9 July 2026. See what has changed →
Who this is for
Anyone with a favourite
Watch the places you actually eat. If the takeaway on the corner drops to a 1, you will know before the sticker changes.
Food-safety consultants
Every business that drops to 2 or below, the day it happens, across a whole council or the whole country. Roughly 5,100 ratings change each month.
Multi-site operators
Watch every branch of a chain. Find out a site has slipped from us, not from a customer, a journalist, or a delivery platform.
Landlords & insurers
A tenant's hygiene rating is a risk signal, and it moves without telling anybody.
What you get
- An email the morning after a rating you watch changes, never more than one a day.
- Worst news first: a drop to 2 or below leads the message.
- Plain English. Scotland's pass-or-improve scheme is never described as a rise or a fall, because it is not a scale.
- One-click unsubscribe in every email. No password to forget, and none of yours for us to lose.
What we cannot do
We are not the Food Standards Agency, and we cannot change a rating. Neither can the business. A rating is set by a council's environmental health officer, on an unannounced visit, and a business that disagrees has 21 days to appeal to that council.
A low rating is not a closure order. We will tell you a rating moved; what that means for you is your judgement, not ours. More about how this site works →
