Greggs is possibly the most popular bakery in the country and a regular on many people's lunch menu.
Southampton hosts eight of the chain's branches, meaning you are never too far from a Steak Bake or Glazed Ring Doughnut.
If you ever wondered though which is the best when it comes to cleanliness, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) make their hygiene ratings public, meaning it's easy to discover how restaurants and take aways scored.
The inspections are carried out by the local authority and findings are updated on the FSA website whenever there is a new inspection.

How is Greggs assessed?
Inspectors look at a few different key elements when assessing the hygiene of a restaurant including:
How hygienically the food is handled- such as how its prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled, and stored.
The condition of the structure of the buildings – the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, and other facilities.
How the business manages what it does to make sure food is safe so the officer can be confident standards will be maintained in the future.
