Harvester food hygiene ratings
There are 77 Harvester 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. 3 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 Harvester scores
85% of rated Harvester branches hold the top score of 5, and 99% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.81 out of 5, comfortably ahead of the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that hold a 5.
| 5 out of 5 | 62 | 85% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 out of 5 | 10 | 14% | |
| 3 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 2 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 1 out of 5 | 1 | 1% | |
| 0 out of 5 | 0 | 0% |
A further 4 branches are awaiting inspection, exempt, or in Scotland, none of which sit on the 0–5 scale.
Lowest-rated Harvester branches
1 branch holds a rating of 2 or below. That is 1% of Harvester's rated sites. A low rating is not a closure order, the business is required to fix what the inspector found.

Questions about Harvester
What is Harvester's food hygiene rating?
Harvester does not have a single rating. Every one of its 77 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 85% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.81 out of 5.
Is Harvester clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 85% of Harvester branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, and 1 branches score 2 or below.
Which Harvester has the worst hygiene rating?
The lowest-rated branches are listed on this page, worst first. 1 hold a rating of 2 or below out of 73 rated sites.
Who inspects Harvester?
Not Harvester. 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.
