Where are you getting that from? I know lots of people who've worked there and the stories of the over-the-top cleaning were constant from all.

Also having eaten there I'd say mostly not microwaved.

I used to know people working at their branches, and it's mostly microwaved. The exceptions are a few items like steak, of course.

Yeah – I mean, the food is generally _awful_, but that's because it's bargain-basement stuff, not because of any inadequacy in food safety.

At Trowbridge, a rat stole someone's food off a table a couple of years back.

Meanwhile, in the other just under 1000 locations across the UK, nothing untoward of merit occurred.

One sample does not data make.

Not so sure. Check the lowest bidding suppliers as well https://www.food.gov.uk/news-updates/news/2018/16850/action-...

They pulled half the menu at 900 locations due to that.

Also it’s pretty easy to get a 5 food hygiene rating with a static menu. It’s mostly procedural stuff which is easy on large scale places.
