The rating: 1 - Major improvement necessary

Questions about The Joshua Tree
What is The Joshua Tree's food hygiene rating?
The Joshua Tree has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 (major improvement necessary), given by Reigate and Banstead Council on 10 September 2025.
Is The Joshua Tree safe to eat at?
A 1 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The restaurant is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.
When was The Joshua Tree last inspected?
The Joshua Tree was last inspected on 10 September 2025, 10 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Reigate and Banstead Council rather than by the business.
How does The Joshua Tree compare to other places in Reigate and Banstead?
73% of the 911 rated food businesses in Reigate and Banstead hold the top rating of 5, while The Joshua Tree holds a 1. 16 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Reigate and Banstead Council inspects The Joshua Tree 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 The Joshua Tree and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

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 Reigate and Banstead, 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.
