Bewliehill food hygiene rating
Takeaway/sandwich shop · City of London Corporation
Bewliehill holds a 1: major improvement is necessary. The inspector found significant problems at the takeaway and the business is legally required to address them.
The rating: 1 - Major improvement necessary
The rating dates from 11 June 2026, 2 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.

When was Bewliehill last inspected?
Bewliehill was last inspected on 11 June 2026, 2 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by City of London Corporation Council rather than by the business.

88% of the 1,721 rated food businesses in City of London Corporation hold the top rating of 5, while Bewliehill holds a 1. 14 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
City of London Corporation Council inspects Bewliehill 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.

Is this your business?
A rating of 1 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at City of London Corporation, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
