Retreat food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Chorley

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

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 14 November 2025, 8 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 Retreat 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.

What is Retreat's food hygiene rating?

Retreat has a food hygiene rating of 5 out of 5 (very good), given by Chorley Council on 14 November 2025.

Is Retreat 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 restaurant to be very good, the top end of the scale.

When was Retreat last inspected?

Retreat was last inspected on 14 November 2025, 8 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Chorley Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Retreat?

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 "good". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.

How does Retreat compare to other places in Chorley?

87% of the 863 rated food businesses in Chorley hold the top rating of 5, and Retreat is one of them.

Who decides the rating?

Chorley Council inspects Retreat 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 Retreat and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
