Subway food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Dartford

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 8 January 2025, 18 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.

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?

Subway has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Dartford Council on 8 January 2025.

Is Subway safe to eat at?

When was Subway last inspected?

Subway was last inspected on 8 January 2025, 18 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Dartford 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 "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

How does Subway compare to other places in Dartford?

77% of the 923 rated food businesses in Dartford hold the top rating of 5, and Subway is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Dartford 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.
