Subway food hygiene rating

Takeaway/sandwich shop · Brent

Subway 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 5 August 2025, 11 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.

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.

Questions about Subway

What is Subway's food hygiene rating?

Subway has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Brent Council on 5 August 2025.

Is Subway safe to eat at?

The rating covers hygiene standards found at inspection, not the food itself. At 5 out of 5, the inspector found hygiene standards at this takeaway to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Subway last inspected?

Subway was last inspected on 5 August 2025, 11 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Brent 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 "very good", and confidence in the management of food safety "very good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

How does Subway compare to other places in Brent?

74% of the 2,224 rated food businesses in Brent hold the top rating of 5, and Subway is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Brent 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.
