Temper and Brown - Jewellery Quarter food hygiene rating

Temper and Brown - Jewellery Quarter has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 (major improvement necessary), given by Birmingham Council on 22 October 2025.

A 1 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The business is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.

Temper and Brown - Jewellery Quarter was last inspected on 22 October 2025, 8 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Birmingham Council rather than by the business.

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

66% of the 8,171 rated food businesses in Birmingham hold the top rating of 5, while Temper and Brown - Jewellery Quarter holds a 1. 387 places in the area share that rating.

Birmingham Council inspects Temper and Brown - Jewellery Quarter 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.
