Questions about Nativ
What is Nativ's food hygiene rating?
Nativ has a food hygiene rating of 1 out of 5 (major improvement necessary), given by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council on 1 April 2026.
Is Nativ safe to eat at?
A 1 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The restaurant is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.
When was Nativ last inspected?
Nativ was last inspected on 1 April 2026, 3 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council rather than by the business.
How does Nativ compare to other places in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole?
88% of the 2,941 rated food businesses in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole hold the top rating of 5, while Nativ holds a 1. 18 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council inspects Nativ 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 Nativ and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

Is this your business?
A rating of 1 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 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, 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.
