McDonald's is among the UK's favourite fast-food chains in the world with thousands of branches across the UK.

Cumbria is no exception with several establishments displaying the famous golden arches - a sign you are never too far from a Big Mac or McCrispy.

If you ever questioned which McDonald's restaurant is the best when it comes to cleanliness, the answer to your question is held by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The FSA make its hygiene ratings public, meaning it's easy to discover how restaurants scored.

The inspections are carried out by the local authority and findings are updated on the FSA website whenever there is a new inspection.
