Every rating published for Bromley since 3 September is a 5: 34 venues, from the Crooked Billet in Penge to Sainsbury's in Orpington. The last low score was on 4 August.
Every food hygiene rating the Food Standards Agency has published for the borough of Bromley in the past three weeks is a 5. That is 34 inspections between 3 and 23 September, and not one came back lower (FSA register, Bromley, read 24 September 2026).
Ten of the 34 are school kitchens, rated at the start of the autumn term. The rest are pubs, cafes, restaurants, a supermarket, a butcher, two care settings and a college kitchen.

How the borough stands
The register holds 2,481 food businesses for the borough. Of the 2,178 with a numeric rating:
- 1,679 hold a 5, which is 77 per cent
- 296 hold a 4 and 168 a 3
- 16 hold a 2, 16 hold a 1 and 3 hold a 0
A further 206 are exempt from a rating, mostly places where food is not the main business, and 97 are awaiting inspection or publication.
The most recent rating below 3 anywhere in the borough was given on 4 August, a 1 for CPCT Holiday Activities Programme in Penge. Nothing has been published in that band since. Any business rated below 5 has the right to appeal, to ask for a re-inspection, and to publish a reply on the register; a rating reflects the day of the inspection.
We explained in September why so many low ratings in Bromley come down to paperwork rather than food, in Bromley Food Hygiene: 15 on a 1, and It Is Not the Food. Our July roundup has the previous batch.
What it means for you
- A rating is public and free to check before you book: search any business at ratings.food.gov.uk.
- The sticker in the window should match the register. If it does not, the register is the current one.
- Term-time school kitchens are inspected like any other business, and this month’s ten school results are all 5s.
- Our directory of local businesses links each listed venue to its register entry.
