Distance is measured from the ONS postcode centroid to the coordinates published by the FSA. It is not an address, entrance, road or walking distance. Results are ordered only by distance.

Important context

A food hygiene rating reflects standards found on the inspection or visit date; it is not a measure of food quality. Ratings can change. Civic Data returns the official value and never combines ratings into a quality, safety or recommendation score.
