Food Hygiene Ratings in Bristol

I have taken the public data about Food Hygiene Ratings and carried out some in depth analysis.

Ratings Explained

You will have seen these ratings in many establishments.

The available ratings are:

5 – hygiene standards are very good

4 – hygiene standards are good

3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory

2 – some improvement is necessary

1 – major improvement is necessary

0 – urgent improvement is required

The ratings are derived from three elements:

• Each of those three elements gets a score. Lower is better.
  • Hygiene: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
  • Structure: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
  • Management (“confidence in management”): 0, 5, 10, 20, 30
  The three scores are added (0–80 total).
• Your 0–5 rating is then set from the total and capped by how low any single element scored (“highest permitted individual score”). In practice it works like this:
• • 5 – Very good: total 0–15, and no individual score >5
  • 4 – Good: total 20, and no individual score >10
  • 3 – Generally satisfactory: total 25–30, and no individual score >10
  • 2 – Improvement necessary: total 35–40, and no individual score >15
  • 1 – Major improvement necessary: total 45–50, and no individual score >20
  • 0 – Urgent improvement necessary: total >50
