What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Generally satisfactory
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Improvement necessary
- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory
An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At The Vintage Scoop the inspector recorded concerns over the condition of the premises. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Questions about The Vintage Scoop

The Vintage Scoop has a food hygiene rating of 2 out of 5 (some improvement necessary), given by Hammersmith and Fulham Council on 25 February 2025.
Is The Vintage Scoop safe to eat at?
A 2 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The takeaway is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.
When was The Vintage Scoop last inspected?
The Vintage Scoop was last inspected on 25 February 2025, 16 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Hammersmith and Fulham Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at The Vintage Scoop?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "generally satisfactory", the cleanliness and condition of the building "improvement necessary", and confidence in the management of food safety "generally satisfactory". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does The Vintage Scoop compare to other places in Hammersmith and Fulham?
78% of the 1,803 rated food businesses in Hammersmith and Fulham hold the top rating of 5, while The Vintage Scoop holds a 2. 23 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Hammersmith and Fulham Council inspects The Vintage Scoop and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.

Is this your business?
A rating of 2 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Hammersmith and Fulham, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
