What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Improvement necessary
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Major improvement necessary
- How well they manage food safety Major improvement necessary
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 Golden Star the inspector recorded concerns over how food is handled, the condition of the premises and confidence in management. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Questions about Golden Star
What is Golden Star's food hygiene rating?
Golden Star has a food hygiene rating of 0 out of 5 (urgent improvement necessary), given by Gosport Council on 3 June 2026.
Is Golden Star safe to eat at?
A 0 means urgent improvement is necessary: the inspector found serious problems. The takeaway may still be trading, because a rating is not a closure order, but this is the lowest score the scheme gives.
When was Golden Star last inspected?
Golden Star was last inspected on 3 June 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Gosport Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Golden Star?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "improvement necessary", the cleanliness and condition of the building "major improvement necessary", and confidence in the management of food safety "major improvement necessary". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Golden Star compare to other places in Gosport?
86% of the 573 rated food businesses in Gosport hold the top rating of 5, while Golden Star holds a 0. 3 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Gosport Council inspects Golden Star 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 Golden Star and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

Is this your business?
A rating of 0 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Gosport, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
