Hygiene ratings - Latest results

Inspectors visited 122 food serving establishments across the borough in March, checking everything from food cleanliness to staff knowledge of health and safety routines. And more than half of the venues inspected were awarded ratings of ‘Very Good’ or ‘Good’.

The highest score of Five went to 55 businesses (45 per cent) while 21 received the second highest score of Four.

A further 22 eateries earned a “generally satisfactory” rating of Three, while 10 were deemed to require improvement with their scores of Two.

There were 13 establishments given a One rating, while Sunny House Chinese takeaway in Leigh was the sole recipient of a dreaded Zero.

Businesses that serve food are rated on how hygienically it is handled; how it is prepared, cooked, reheated, cooled and stored; the condition of the structure of the buildings; the cleanliness, lay-out, lighting, ventilation and other facilities, as well as how the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe.

The information provided on businesses is held on behalf of local authorities participating in the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, or the Food Hygiene Information Scheme in Scotland.

The inspections continue throughout the year, with rating designed to provide reassurance to customers.

A five-star rating is top of the scale, and means the hygiene standards are very good and fully comply with the law.

A four rating means standards are “good, “three” indicates a “generally satisfactory” performance, while “some improvement is necessary” for venues sporting a rating of two. Anywhere with a rating of one requires major improvement, and zero ratings demand “urgent improvement”.

Establishments are also judged on food-handling practices and procedures and temperature control, as well as its structural compliance, such as cleanliness, lay-out, condition of structure, lighting, ventilation and facilities.

Credit is also given for confidence in management, which is graded on the performance of those in charge of the establishment and issues such as how well guidelines are understood by the workforce, as well as things such as the track record of the company and complaint history.
