title: UK Food Hygiene Ratings (FSA FHRS) - every rated establishment, cleaned
description: The official hygiene rating of every food business in Great Britain & Northern Ireland - the regulator's version of the 'restaurant' data the review-site scrapers sell, but authoritative and open. The UK Food Standards Agency publishes ~520k establishments across ~360 local authorities as one XML file each; we assemble them into one clean table with the rating, inspection date, the three component scores (hygiene, structural, management) and a geocode. Covers both schemes - FHRS 0-5 (England/Wales/NI) and FHIS Pass/Improvement (Scotland). Open Government Licence v3.0 (fully commercial).
