It is one of the most recognisable burger restaurants on the planet.

And no matter where you go across Somerset, you are never more than a matter of minutes away from a Burger King.

Whether you are craving a Whopper meal, a Chicken Royale or wanting to go large with a Bacon Double Cheeseburger meal, the chances are that you will be able to find it nearby.

But just how clean is the Burger King you most regularly go to?

Whether it be a favourite place to grab dinner or a convenient stop off on your lunch break, the majority trust that the kitchens where their favourite menu items are being prepared are clean and hygienic.

Somerset Live has taken a look at all nine Burger Kings in and around Somerset and compiled the food hygiene ratings of all of them.

What is a food hygiene rating?

Video Loading

A food hygiene rating is given to all businesses which serve food.

It is awarded following an inspection which measures a business based on the following three criteria: 

  • Hygienic food handling  
  • Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building  
  • Management of food safety

The business is then awarded an overall score from zero - meaning urgent improvement is required - to five - meaning hygiene standards are very good:  

  • Zero - urgent improvement is required  
  • One - major improvement is necessary  
  • Two - some improvement is necessary  
  • Three - hygiene standards are generally satisfactory  
  • Four - hygiene standards are good  
  • Five - hygiene standards are very good
