Wigan hygiene ratings: Latest results

In December, health inspectors from the Food Standards Agency made unannounced visits to 41 food serving businesses across the borough, and 24 of those received a mark of Five - making 58 per cent of the total.

The second highest score of Four was dished out to six establishments - just under 15 per cent of the total results, while three earned a Three.

Four places scored a rating of Two, while two outlets each earned the dreaded lowly scores of One and Zero - Oriental Express in Leigh and Costcutter in Astley being the two firmly rooted at the bottom of the hygiene ratings list.

Businesses that serve food are rated on how hygienically it is handled; how it is prepared, cooked, reheated, cooled and stored; the condition of the structure of the buildings; the cleanliness, lay-out, lighting, ventilation and other facilities, as well as how the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe.
