Caffè Nero food hygiene ratings
There are 591 Caffè Nero 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. 39 sites are 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 Caffè Nero scores
72% of rated Caffè Nero branches hold the top score of 5, and 95% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.64 out of 5, about in line with the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that hold a 5.
| 5 out of 5 | 392 | 72% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 out of 5 | 126 | 23% | |
| 3 out of 5 | 19 | 3% | |
| 2 out of 5 | 8 | 1% | |
| 1 out of 5 | 3 | 1% | |
| 0 out of 5 | 0 | 0% |
A further 43 branches are awaiting inspection, exempt, or in Scotland, none of which sit on the 0–5 scale.
Lowest-rated Caffè Nero branches
11 branches hold a rating of 2 or below. That is 2% of Caffè Nero's rated sites. A low rating is not a closure order, the business is required to fix what the inspector found.

Questions about Caffè Nero
What is Caffè Nero's food hygiene rating?
Caffè Nero does not have a single rating. Every one of its 591 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 72% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.64 out of 5.
Is Caffè Nero clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 72% of Caffè Nero branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, and 11 branches score 2 or below.
Which Caffè Nero has the worst hygiene rating?
The lowest-rated branches are listed on this page, worst first. 11 hold a rating of 2 or below out of 548 rated sites.
Who inspects Caffè Nero?
Not Caffè Nero. 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.
