Mezcal Reina Limited food hygiene rating
Importers/Exporters · Kensington and Chelsea
Mezcal Reina Limited holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the importer met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.
The rating: 5 - Very good
The rating dates from 5 July 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.
How it compares in Kensington and Chelsea
That puts Mezcal Reina Limited among the 1,609 places in Kensington and Chelsea holding top marks, 88% 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
- Hygienic food handling Very good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Very good
- How well they manage food safety Good
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 Mezcal Reina Limited 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.
