Wigan food hygiene ratings: the restaurants, cafés, takeaways and canteens awarded new rating by the Food Standards Agency in November

Bad Boys in Ashton was given zero stars.

Such a score means that aspects such as management of food safety needs urgent improvement.

The eatery’s cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building and hygienic food handling also need a major overhaul.

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 November.

Out of 74 inspections that month, a whopping 46 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Fourteen venues earned a four, while nine businesses earned a three.

One eatery was awarded a two, while three establishments earned one star.

Bad Boys is the fifth business to be awarded zero stars this year.

Chapel Street News, Great Food Company, Ince Convenience Wigan Store and Raan Nuch have also been awarded the low mark.

In 2022, out of Wigan’s 403 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 188 (47 per cent) have ratings of five.

Among those proudly showcasing a high rating is Little Acorns Day Nursery in Wigan and The Mount Cafe and Food for Thought Vending Services in Whelley.

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.
