Wigan food hygiene: the latest eateries to receive a new rating in April

Officials from the Food Standards Agency often conduct impromptu visits to a number of food-serving premises across the borough - the most recent assessments coming from March.

Out of 40 inspections that month, 20 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Three venues earned a four, while seven businesses earned three stars.

Eight eateries landed a two and two establishments have earned one star. None earned a zero,

Out of Wigan’s 405 restaurants, cafes and canteens and private food-serving establishments to be awarded ratings so far, 216 (53 per cent) have ratings of five.

These ratings are not about food quality. The scheme aims to help the public choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving people clear information about businesses’ hygiene standards.

These inspections ensure that food-serving venues adhere to strict hygiene protocols that protect public health.

A higher rating reflects not only good food safety practices but also a well-maintained environment.

The Food Standards Agency encourages establishments to improve their hygiene performance, helping customers make informed and safe dining choices across the borough.

Businesses are scored from zero to five on a variety of different components such as how food is handled from preparation and cooking to 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.
