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 Subway 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 Subway's food hygiene rating?

Subway has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Maidstone Council on 1 June 2026.

Is Subway safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this restaurant to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Subway last inspected?

Subway was last inspected on 1 June 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Maidstone Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Subway?

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

82% of the 1,387 rated food businesses in Maidstone hold the top rating of 5, and Subway is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Maidstone Council inspects Subway 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 Subway and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
