McDonalds food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Bolsover

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 9 September 2025, 10 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 McDonalds 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.

Questions about McDonalds

What is McDonalds's food hygiene rating?

McDonalds has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Bolsover Council on 9 September 2025.

When was McDonalds last inspected?

McDonalds was last inspected on 9 September 2025, 10 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Bolsover Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at McDonalds?

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.

How does McDonalds compare to other places in Bolsover?

86% of the 691 rated food businesses in Bolsover hold the top rating of 5, and McDonalds is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Bolsover Council inspects McDonalds 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 McDonalds and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
