What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Improvement necessary
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Improvement necessary
- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory
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 Chilli Hut the inspector recorded concerns over how food is handled and the condition of the premises. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Questions about Chilli Hut
What is Chilli Hut's food hygiene rating?
Chilli Hut has a food hygiene rating of 2 out of 5 (some improvement necessary), given by Fylde Council on 20 May 2026.
Is Chilli Hut safe to eat at?
A 2 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The takeaway 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.
When was Chilli Hut last inspected?
Chilli Hut was last inspected on 20 May 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Fylde Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Chilli Hut?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "improvement necessary", the cleanliness and condition of the building "improvement necessary", and confidence in the management of food safety "generally satisfactory". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Chilli Hut compare to other places in Fylde?
84% of the 754 rated food businesses in Fylde hold the top rating of 5, while Chilli Hut holds a 2. 5 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Fylde Council inspects Chilli Hut 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 2 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 Fylde, 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.
