Questions about Golden Palace

Is Golden Palace safe to eat at?

When was Golden Palace last inspected?
Golden Palace was last inspected on 21 July 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Mole Valley Council rather than by the business.
How does Golden Palace compare to other places in Mole Valley?
93% of the 706 rated food businesses in Mole Valley hold the top rating of 5, while Golden Palace holds a 2. 7 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Mole Valley Council inspects Golden Palace 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.
Tell me when this changes
The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Golden Palace and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

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 Mole Valley, 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.
