Food hygiene ratings Wigan: the restaurants, cafés, takeaways and canteens awarded new rating by the Food Standards Agency

Both Thai supermarket Raan Nuch, in Ashton, and Rema Tandoori Balti, in Tyldesley, earned a score of zero in the latest round of inspections.

While Raan Nuch had a good standard for cleanliness and hygienic food handling, its management of food safety requires urgent improvement.

Rema Tandoori Balti needs improvement across all three aspects.

This takes the total number of zero ratings this year to five across the borough.

Officials from the Food Standards Agency often conduct impromptu visits to food-serving premises across the borough – the most recent assessments to be published coming from July.

Out of 25 inspections carried out that month, eight received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Seven venues earned a four, while two businesses earned a three.

One business earned a two and five eateries earned a one-star rating.

In 2022, out of Wigan’s 205 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 98 (48 per cent) have ratings of five.

Among those proudly showcasing a high rating is Red Robin in Wigan and Atherton and Leigh Food Bank.

Dish Bar and Restaurant in Standish has also earned a much improved hygiene mark, after it was rated just one star last month.

Chapel Street News in Leigh and Garlix in Golborne were some of those who earned one star.

Businesses are scored from zero to five on a variety of different components, like how food is handled with preparation, cooking, reheating and storage.

They also look at the cleanliness, layout and structure of the building when it comes to lighting, ventilation and how it is managed.
