Food hygiene: all the Wigan eateries awarded new ratings by the Food Standards Agency in August

Following a re-inspection, Gallimores on The Wiend has had its rating changed from one star to three stars while Georgia Browns in Hindley now has top marks after previously earning two stars.

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

Out of 63 inspections that month, 33 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Four venues earned a four, while seven businesses earned a three.

Seven eateries also landed a two and 12 premises earned one star.

In 2023, out of Wigan’s 715 restaurants, cafes, sandwich shops and canteens with ratings, 493 (69 per cent) have ratings of five.

None have received a zero so far this year.

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.
