Subway food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Rugby

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 13 November 2025, 8 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: 13 Clifton Road, Rugby, CV21 3PY

How it compares in Rugby

That puts Subway among the 596 places in Rugby holding top marks, 73% 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

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 Subway 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.

Questions about Subway

What is Subway's food hygiene rating?

Subway has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Rugby Council on 13 November 2025.

Is Subway safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this takeaway to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Subway last inspected?

Subway was last inspected on 13 November 2025, 8 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Rugby Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Subway?

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

How does Subway compare to other places in Rugby?

73% of the 819 rated food businesses in Rugby hold the top rating of 5, and Subway is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Rugby Council inspects Subway 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.
