Rey food hygiene rating

Retailers - other · Redbridge

Rey holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the shop are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.

The rating: 4 - Good

The rating dates from 15 October 2024, 20 months ago. That is getting on for the longest gap councils usually leave, so the score may not reflect how the business is run today.

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 Rey 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 Rey's food hygiene rating?

Rey has a food hygiene rating of 4 out of 5 (good), given by Redbridge Council on 15 October 2024.

Is Rey safe to eat at?

When was Rey last inspected?

Rey was last inspected on 15 October 2024, 20 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Redbridge Council rather than by the business.

What did the inspector find at Rey?

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

Who decides the rating?

Redbridge Council inspects Rey 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.
