It is known as the go to place if you fancy some fried chicken.
Your favourite dish might be finger lickin' good original chicken, a boneless banquet meal or some hot wings - but chances are that you will be able to find it nearby.
But just how clean is the KFC that you most regularly go to?
Whether it be a favourite place to grab a meal or a convenient stop off on your way back from a night out, 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 12 KFCs across Somerset - and nearby towns Trowbridge (Wiltshire) and Shaftesbury (Dorset) - and compiled the food hygiene ratings of all of them.
What is a food hygiene rating?
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
