From the shocking to best places to eat out in Wigan

As, Wigan Today reported last month, Albert’s at Standish was given a one-star rating.

However, the venue has quickly made improvements and, following a recent inspection, now boasts four stars.

One of the major concerns surrounding management of food safety has improved to a satisfactory level but still requires some improvement.

Other aspects like food handling and cleanliness has improved to a good and very good standard respectively.

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 October.

Out of 32 inspections that month, a whopping 20 received a score of five signifying a “very good” rating.

Three establishments recieved a four, while two venues recieved a three.

The Buck’s Head in Abram, Heaven and Health in Golborne and Mandos Grill in Platt Bridge were given lowly one-star ratings. None was deprived of any stars.

This means that in 2021 so far, out of Wigan’s 756 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 504 (67 per cent) have ratings of five.

Among those proudly showcasing a five is Harvester Atherleigh.

Businesses are scored from zero to five on a variety of different components such as 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.

All ratings were correct on the Food Standards Agency website as of October 2021:
