Subway food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Trafford

Subway holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the restaurant met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 9 December 2024, 19 months ago. That is getting on for the longest gap councils usually leave, so the score may not reflect how the business is run today.

Address: 62 Washway Road, Sale, M33 7RE

How it compares in Trafford

That puts Subway among the 1,611 places in Trafford holding top marks, 81% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

What the inspector found

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 Subway none of the three raised a concern, the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, so a clean sweep is what produces a high score.

What is Subway's food hygiene rating?

Is Subway safe to eat at?

When was Subway last inspected?

Subway was last inspected on 9 December 2024, 19 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Trafford Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Subway?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "very good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

81% of the 1,982 rated food businesses in Trafford hold the top rating of 5, and Subway is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Trafford Council inspects Subway 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.
