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.

When was Subway last inspected?

Subway was last inspected on 12 June 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Belfast 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 "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

73% of the 2,919 rated food businesses in Belfast City hold the top rating of 5, and Subway is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Belfast 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.
