Hide AdOut of 37 inspections that month, a massive 32 received a score of five, signifying a “very good” rating.
Seven establishments received a four, while just two places earned the satisfactory rating of three.
This means that in 2021 so far, out of Wigan’s 724 restaurants, cafes and canteens with ratings, 484 (67 per cent) have ratings of five and none has landed the dreaded zero rating.
Also receiving a one alongside Albert’s were Nutrisport on Wallgate and the Siam House Thai Takeaway in Standish.

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 September 2021:
