Wetherspoons is an incredibly popular pub chain throughout the UK, with 15 of them being found in Essex.

If you fancy visiting any of them you might get peace of mind knowing what their standards of cleanliness are.

Thanks to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) we get to see what each of the hygiene ratings is for all the Wetherspoons pubs.

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