The Beach food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Blackpool

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 10 July 2025, 12 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: 94 Promenade, Blackpool, FY1 1HB

That puts The Beach among the 1,330 places in Blackpool holding top marks, 79% of everywhere the council rates. A 5 is the norm here rather than the exception, so it is the rating to expect, not to be impressed by.

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 Beach 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 The Beach last inspected?

The Beach was last inspected on 10 July 2025, 12 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Blackpool Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at The Beach?

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

79% of the 1,680 rated food businesses in Blackpool hold the top rating of 5, and The Beach is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Blackpool Council inspects The Beach 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.
