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 Rasputin 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 Rasputin's food hygiene rating?

Rasputin has a food hygiene rating of 3 out of 5 (generally satisfactory), given by Ipswich Council on 23 April 2024.

Is Rasputin safe to eat at?

A 3 means the shop 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 Rasputin last inspected?

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

What did the inspector find at Rasputin?

The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "generally satisfactory", 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.

95% of the 1,044 rated food businesses in Ipswich hold the top rating of 5, while Rasputin holds a 3. 8 places in the area share that rating.

Who decides the rating?

Ipswich Council inspects Rasputin 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.
