The Spa food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Bromley

The Spa holds a 3: generally satisfactory. The restaurant met the legal standard, but the inspector recorded enough minor issues that it fell short of a good or very good rating.

The rating: 3 - Generally satisfactory

The rating dates from 31 July 2025, 11 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.

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 The Spa 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 The Spa's food hygiene rating?

The Spa has a food hygiene rating of 3 out of 5 (generally satisfactory), given by Bromley Council on 31 July 2025.

Is The Spa safe to eat at?

A 3 means the restaurant met the legal standard, so it is lawful to eat there, but the inspector recorded issues that stopped it scoring higher. It is the middle of the scale.

When was The Spa last inspected?

The Spa was last inspected on 31 July 2025, 11 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Bromley Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at The Spa?

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

How does The Spa compare to other places in Bromley?

77% of the 2,144 rated food businesses in Bromley hold the top rating of 5, while The Spa holds a 3. 154 places in the area share that rating.

Who decides the rating?

Bromley Council inspects The Spa 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 The Spa and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
