Subway food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Derby City

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 29 November 2024, 19 months ago. That is getting on for the longest gap councils usually leave, so the score may not reflect how the business is run today.

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.

What is Subway's food hygiene rating?

When was Subway last inspected?

Subway was last inspected on 29 November 2024, 19 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Derby City 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 "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

73% of the 1,975 rated food businesses in Derby City hold the top rating of 5, and Subway is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Derby City 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.

Tell me when this changes

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Subway and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
