Information you will need before you begin the form
Before submitting an appeal, you should contact the officer who inspected your business. They can explain how your rating was calculated and discuss any concerns you have.
You must submit your appeal within 21 days of being notified of your rating. This includes weekends and bank holidays. In most cases, an inspection report will have been left at your premises confirming the rating.
When completing the form, you will need to explain:
- why you believe the rating does not reflect the conditions found during the inspection
- which parts of the rating you disagree with
- any other information you would like us to consider
The food safety manager or their deputy will review your rating. We will tell you the outcome within 21 days of receiving your appeal.
