Nisa food hygiene ratings
There are 724 Nisa 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. 74 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 Nisa scores
61% of rated Nisa branches hold the top score of 5, and 83% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.30 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 | 389 | 61% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 out of 5 | 139 | 22% | |
| 3 out of 5 | 58 | 9% | |
| 2 out of 5 | 19 | 3% | |
| 1 out of 5 | 30 | 5% | |
| 0 out of 5 | 3 | <1% |
A further 86 branches are awaiting inspection, exempt, or in Scotland, none of which sit on the 0–5 scale.
Lowest-rated Nisa branches
52 branches hold a rating of 2 or below, including 3 rated 0. That is 8% of Nisa's rated sites. A low rating is not a closure order, the business is required to fix what the inspector found.

Questions about Nisa
What is Nisa's food hygiene rating?
Nisa does not have a single rating. Every one of its 724 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 61% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.30 out of 5.
Is Nisa clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 61% of Nisa branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, and 52 branches score 2 or below.
Which Nisa has the worst hygiene rating?
The lowest-rated branches are listed on this page, worst first. 52 hold a rating of 2 or below out of 638 rated sites.
Who inspects Nisa?
Not Nisa. 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.
