Starbucks food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Newark and Sherwood

Starbucks 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 6 March 2026, 4 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.

Address: 17 - 18 Market Place, Newark On Trent, Nottinghamshire, NG24 1EA

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 Starbucks 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 Starbucks's food hygiene rating?

Is Starbucks safe to eat at?

When was Starbucks last inspected?

Starbucks was last inspected on 6 March 2026, 4 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Newark and Sherwood Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Starbucks?

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.

87% of the 1,046 rated food businesses in Newark and Sherwood hold the top rating of 5, and Starbucks is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Newark and Sherwood Council inspects Starbucks 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.

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 Starbucks and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
