Five Guys food hygiene ratings
There are 184 Five Guys 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. 13 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 Five Guys scores
100% of rated Five Guys branches hold the top score of 5, and 100% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 5.00 out of 5, a strikingly consistent record, well above the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that manage a 5.

Questions about Five Guys
What is Five Guys's food hygiene rating?
Five Guys does not have a single rating. Every one of its 184 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 100% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 5.00 out of 5.
Is Five Guys clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 100% of Five Guys 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 Five Guys has the worst hygiene rating?
None. No Five Guys branch in the UK currently holds a rating of 2 or below.
Who inspects Five Guys?
Not Five Guys. 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.
