Admiral food hygiene rating

Other catering premises · Southwark

Admiral holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the business met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 23 July 2025, 11 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

Address: Unit 1, 193-221, Southwark Park Road, SE16 3TU

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 Admiral 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 Admiral's food hygiene rating?

When was Admiral last inspected?

Admiral was last inspected on 23 July 2025, 11 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Southwark Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Admiral?

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 "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

How does Admiral compare to other places in Southwark?

Who decides the rating?

Southwark Council inspects Admiral 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.
