Interludee food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Lewisham

Interludee holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The restaurant met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.

The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

The rating dates from 23 January 2024, more than 2 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.

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 Interludee 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.

Interludee has a food hygiene rating of 3 out of 5 (generally satisfactory), given by Lewisham Council on 23 January 2024.

Is Interludee safe to eat at?

A 3 means the restaurant met the legal standard, so it is lawful to eat there, but the inspector recorded issues that stopped it scoring higher. It is the middle of the scale.

When was Interludee last inspected?

Interludee was last inspected on 23 January 2024, more than 2 years ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Lewisham Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Interludee?

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

62% of the 2,009 rated food businesses in Lewisham hold the top rating of 5, while Interludee holds a 3. 236 places in the area share that rating.

Who decides the rating?

Lewisham Council inspects Interludee 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.
