Food hygiene: The Wigan eateries awarded new ratings by the Food Standards Agency in November

Asha Indian on Holden Road in Leigh was awarded a zero at its inspection in September.

Following a re-inspection it has now been awarded three stars which means the establishment is now considered to be generally satisfactory.

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

Out of 64 inspections that month, 41 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Nine venues earned a four, while six businesses earned a three.

Three eateries also landed a two and five premises earned one star.

In 2023, out of Wigan’s 909 restaurants, cafes, sandwich shops and canteens with ratings, 585 (64 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 in 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.
