Improve Your Hygiene Rating
Got a low hygiene rating? We'll help you get to 5 stars.
A poor food hygiene rating can hurt your reputation, reduce footfall, and put your business at risk. Pear Consultancy works with restaurants, takeaways, cafés, and food producers across Birmingham and the West Midlands to identify exactly what needs to change — and make sure it does before your next inspection.
After a low rating, it can feel overwhelming knowing where to start. We take the pressure off by doing a thorough review of your premises, your paperwork, and your team's practices — then giving you a clear, prioritised action plan. We've helped businesses go from a 2-star rating to a 5-star rating, and we know exactly what EHOs are looking for.
How we improve your hygiene rating
Premises & Hygiene Review
We visit your site and assess cleanliness standards, food storage, temperature controls, pest management, and cross-contamination risks. You'll leave knowing exactly what needs fixing.
Your team is your biggest food safety asset. We run practical on-site training sessions to make sure everyone understands their responsibilities and what's expected during an EHO visit.
Staff Training
Many low ratings come down to missing or incomplete records. We review your cleaning schedules, food safety logs, and allergen documentation — and write or update anything that's not up to standard.
Paperwork & Documentation
What does a food hygiene rating actually cover?
The Food Standards Agency rates businesses across three areas: the physical condition of your premises, how food is handled and stored, and your management of food safety — which includes your documentation and systems. Most businesses that score poorly do so in the management area, because the paperwork isn't in place. That's exactly what we specialise in fixing.
Serving Birmingham and across the West Midlands
We work with food businesses in Birmingham, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Walsall, Dudley, and across the wider West Midlands region. Whether you've just had a re-inspection date confirmed or you want to get ahead of it, get in touch and we'll book in a site visit.
