Beefeater food hygiene ratings
There are 13 Beefeater sites in the United Kingdom with a published food hygiene rating. Each is inspected by its own local council, the chain does not rate itself, and a rating earned in one town says nothing about the branch in the next. 1 site is in Scotland, which uses a pass-or-improve scheme rather than a score out of five, and so are not counted in the figures below.
How Beefeater scores
58% of rated Beefeater branches hold the top score of 5, and 83% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.42 out of 5, behind the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that manage a 5, so it is worth checking the specific branch rather than trusting the name.
| 5 out of 5 | 7 | 58% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 out of 5 | 3 | 25% | |
| 3 out of 5 | 2 | 17% | |
| 2 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 1 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 0 out of 5 | 0 | 0% |
A further 1 branches are awaiting inspection, exempt, or in Scotland, none of which sit on the 0–5 scale.
Lowest-rated branches
Not one Beefeater branch in the country currently sits at 2 or below.
Questions about Beefeater
What is Beefeater's food hygiene rating?
Beefeater does not have a single rating. Every one of its 13 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 58% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.42 out of 5.
Is Beefeater clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 58% of Beefeater branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, though in this case not one branch sits at 2 or below.
Which Beefeater has the worst hygiene rating?
None. No Beefeater branch in the UK currently holds a rating of 2 or below.
Who inspects Beefeater?
Not Beefeater. Environmental health officers at each site's local council carry out the inspection, unannounced, and set the rating. The Food Standards Agency publishes the result. A chain cannot rate itself, and cannot change a rating.
