Burger King food hygiene ratings
There are 557 Burger King sites in the United Kingdom with a published food hygiene rating. Each is inspected by its own local council, the chain does not rate itself, and a rating earned in one town says nothing about the branch in the next. 49 sites are in Scotland, which uses a pass-or-improve scheme rather than a score out of five, and so are not counted in the figures below.
How Burger King scores
94% of rated Burger King branches hold the top score of 5, and 100% hold a 4 or better. The chain averages 4.93 out of 5, a strikingly consistent record, well above the roughly 70% of all UK food businesses that manage a 5.
| 5 out of 5 | 467 | 94% | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 out of 5 | 28 | 6% | |
| 3 out of 5 | 1 | <1% | |
| 2 out of 5 | 0 | 0% | |
| 1 out of 5 | 1 | <1% | |
| 0 out of 5 | 0 | 0% |
A further 60 branches are awaiting inspection, exempt, or in Scotland, none of which sit on the 0–5 scale.
Lowest-rated Burger King branches
1 branch holds a rating of 2 or below. That is 0% of Burger King's rated sites. A low rating is not a closure order, the business is required to fix what the inspector found.

Questions about Burger King
What is Burger King's food hygiene rating?
Burger King does not have a single rating. Every one of its 557 UK sites is inspected and rated separately by its own local council. 94% of them hold the top score of 5, and the chain averages 4.93 out of 5.
Is Burger King clean?
By the only measure a regulator publishes, 94% of Burger King branches were found to have very good hygiene standards at their last inspection. But a rating describes a branch, not a brand, and 1 branches score 2 or below.
Which Burger King has the worst hygiene rating?
The lowest-rated branches are listed on this page, worst first. 1 hold a rating of 2 or below out of 497 rated sites.
Who inspects Burger King?
Not Burger King. Environmental health officers at each site's local council carry out the inspection, unannounced, and set the rating. The Food Standards Agency publishes the result. A chain cannot rate itself, and cannot change a rating.
