Heroes food hygiene rating

Retailers - other · Isle of Wight

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 19 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.

88% of rated food businesses in Isle of Wight score 4 or 5, so this is a normal, good result for the area. See all Isle of Wight ratings →

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 Heroes 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.

When was Heroes last inspected?

Heroes was last inspected on 19 June 2026, 2 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Isle of Wight Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Heroes?

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

Who decides the rating?

Isle of Wight Council inspects Heroes 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.
