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

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 January.

Out of 108 inspections that month, 64 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Twenty two venues earned a four, while 10 businesses earned three stars.

Five eateries landed a two and seven establishments have earned one star.

None have started the year with a zero.

At the start of 2025 out of Wigan’s 108 restaurants, cafes and canteens and private food-serving establishments to be awarded ratings so far, 64 (59 per cent) have ratings of five.

Among those to earn five stars includes Copper Vines on Market Street in Standish and First Steps at Cansfield on Old Road in Ashton

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.
