Pret A Manger food hygiene ratings
There are 508 Pret A Manger 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. 25 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 Pret A Manger scores
95% of rated Pret A Manger branches hold the top score of 5, and 100% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.95 out of 5, a strikingly consistent record, well above the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that manage a 5.

Questions about Pret A Manger
What is Pret A Manger's food hygiene rating?
Pret A Manger does not have a single rating. Every one of its 508 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 95% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.95 out of 5.
Is Pret A Manger clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 95% of Pret A Manger 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 Pret A Manger has the worst hygiene rating?
None. No Pret A Manger branch in the UK currently holds a rating of 2 or below.
Who inspects Pret A Manger?
Not Pret A Manger. 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.
