Red Ridges Honey food hygiene rating

Farmers/growers · Wealden

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 7 May 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.

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 Red Ridges Honey 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.
