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

The Red Lion in Ashton has earned zero stars.

Such a rating means certain aspects of food hygiene require major improvement.

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 February.

Out of 145 inspections that month, 84 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Twenty three venues earned a four, while 20 businesses earned three stars.

Nine eateries landed a two and eight establishments have earned one star. One earned a zero

Out of Wigan’s 253 restaurants, cafes and canteens and private food-serving establishments to be awarded ratings so far, 148 (58 per cent) have ratings of five.

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.

All ratings were correct on the Food Standards Agency website as of February 2025:
