Three Barnet food businesses were rated 1 and ten rated 2 in late September inspections. Hendon Rugby Club climbed from zero to three. All 83 new ratings, by score.
Three Barnet food businesses were rated 1 out of 5 for hygiene after inspections in the second half of September. Ten more were rated 2. Those scores have now appeared on the Food Standards Agency register, after the three-week window businesses get to appeal a rating below five.
There is better news at the other end. Hendon Rugby Football Club, one of only two zero-rated premises in the borough in our August check, was re-inspected on 26 September and is now rated 3. That leaves one zero in Barnet: Coffee Mate / Baba Wali on West Hendon Broadway, rated on 27 May.
All figures come from the FSA ratings register for Barnet, read in full on 1 November. They cover 83 ratings from inspections between 12 September and 30 October that were not in our 10 October roundup.
The 83 new ratings break down as:
- 33 rated 5, very good
- 22 rated 4, good
- 15 rated 3, generally satisfactory
- 10 rated 2, improvement necessary
- 3 rated 1, major improvement necessary
The October inspections are almost all fives so far. That is the same pattern we saw last month: a five is published straight away, while a lower score waits out its appeal period, so October’s weaker results will mostly show up in December’s roundup.

What it means for you
- Check before you book or order. Every name above links to its own FSA record, with the date of inspection. The rating is a snapshot of that day.
- A low rating is not a closure. A 1 or 2 means the council’s inspector found things that must improve. A business that thinks its rating is wrong can appeal within 21 days, and any business can publish a right of reply on its FSA page.
- Businesses can ask for a re-score. Once the work is done, a business can request a re-inspection. Hendon Rugby Football Club’s new rating came from its 26 September visit.
- The scores work backwards. On each FSA page, the three component scores (hygiene, structure and management) count up as things get worse, so a lower number is better.
This page reports the register as it stood on 1 November. Ratings can change after an appeal or a re-inspection, so the FSA page is always the current record. Our next roundup will follow in early December. For the borough-wide picture, including premises that have never been inspected, see Barnet food hygiene ratings.
