Casa food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Waltham Forest

Casa 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 13 August 2025, 10 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.

Address: 94 Station Road, Chingford, E4 7BA

How it compares in Waltham Forest

That puts Casa among the 949 places in Waltham Forest holding top marks, 51% 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 Casa 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 Casa's food hygiene rating?

When was Casa last inspected?

Casa was last inspected on 13 August 2025, 10 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Waltham Forest Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Casa?

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

51% of the 1,863 rated food businesses in Waltham Forest hold the top rating of 5, and Casa is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Waltham Forest Council inspects Casa 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.
