NGOCY Ventures Ltd food hygiene rating
Distributors/Transporters · Barnet
NGOCY Ventures Ltd holds a 1: major improvement is necessary. The inspector found significant problems at the distributor and the business is legally required to address them.
The rating: 1 - Major improvement necessary
The rating dates from 10 April 2026, 3 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Very good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Generally satisfactory
- How well they manage food safety Major improvement necessary
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 NGOCY Ventures Ltd the inspector recorded concerns over confidence in management. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Is NGOCY Ventures Ltd safe to eat at?

When was NGOCY Ventures Ltd last inspected?
NGOCY Ventures Ltd was last inspected on 10 April 2026, 3 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Barnet Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at NGOCY Ventures Ltd?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "very good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "generally satisfactory", and confidence in the management of food safety "major improvement necessary". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does NGOCY Ventures Ltd compare to other places in Barnet?
60% of the 2,354 rated food businesses in Barnet hold the top rating of 5, while NGOCY Ventures Ltd holds a 1. 44 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Barnet Council inspects NGOCY Ventures Ltd 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 1 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 Barnet, 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.
