Wigan food hygiene: The latest eateries to receive a new rating in March

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

Out of 41 inspections that month, 19 received five stars signifying a “very good” rating.

Thirteen venues earned a four, while four businesses earned a three.

Two eateries landed a two and three establishments earned one star.

In 2024 out of Wigan’s 141 restaurants, cafes and canteens to be awarded ratings so far, 85 (60 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.

All ratings were correct on the Food Standards Agency website as of March 2024:
