`uk_food_hygiene_search`

Pack: uk-food-hygiene · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/uk-food-hygiene/mcp

Search UK restaurant food hygiene ratings from the Food Standards Agency FHRS — answers “is this restaurant clean”, “is this takeaway safe to eat at”, “food hygiene rating of X”. Search by business name and/or address (a town, street, or postcode works), or by latitude/longitude + radius_miles for hygiene ratings near a point. Filter by business_type (restaurant, takeaway, pub, hotel, supermarket, mobile caterer…) and min_rating (1-5). Returns rating (0-5 in England/Wales/NI; Scotland uses “Pass”/“Improvement Required” under FHIS), inspection date, address, and inspection sub-scores. Example: uk_food_hygiene_search({ name: “Nandos”, address: “Leeds” })

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	no	Business name to search, e.g. “Nandos”, “Golden Dragon”
`address`	string	no	Any part of the address — town, street, or postcode, e.g. “Leeds”, “Baker Street”, “SW1A 1AA”
`business_type`	string	no	Optional type filter, e.g. “restaurant”, “takeaway”, “pub”, “hotel”, “supermarket”, “school”, “mobile caterer”
`min_rating`	number	no	Minimum FHRS rating 1-5 (5 = best). Filters to numerically-rated FHRS establishments, so Scottish FHIS results drop out
`latitude`	number	no	Latitude for geo search (use with longitude)
`longitude`	number	no	Longitude for geo search (use with latitude)
`radius_miles`	number	no	Geo search radius in miles (default 2, max 30). Only used with latitude/longitude
`limit`	number	no	Max results to return, 1-30 (default 10)
