What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Good
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Improvement necessary
- How well they manage food safety Major improvement necessary
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 The Rose Room the inspector recorded concerns over the condition of the premises and confidence in management. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Questions about The Rose Room
What is The Rose Room's food hygiene rating?
The Rose Room has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 (major improvement necessary), given by Reigate and Banstead Council on 20 July 2026.
Is The Rose Room safe to eat at?
A 1 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The restaurant 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 The Rose Room last inspected?
The Rose Room was last inspected on 20 July 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Reigate and Banstead Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at The Rose Room?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "good", the cleanliness and condition of the building "improvement necessary", and confidence in the management of food safety "major improvement necessary". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does The Rose Room compare to other places in Reigate and Banstead?
73% of the 870 rated food businesses in Reigate and Banstead hold the top rating of 5, while The Rose Room holds a 1. 13 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Reigate and Banstead Council inspects The Rose Room 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 Reigate and Banstead, 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.
