In pictures: The grimy restaurant with mouse activity and unsafe gas supply
A restaurant owner must pay out nearly £3,000 after his premises were found to be unhygienic and dangerous following an inspection.
Yasan Liang, director of Chopsticks on Birmingham New Road in Dudley, pleaded guilty to five food hygiene breaches and one health and safety breach at Dudley Magistrates Court on December 13.
Dudley Environmental Health officers undertook a routine but unannounced inspection at Chopsticks on September 15, 2022 and said they were shocked by the poor standards of health and safety.
The team found breaches of food safety and hygiene legislation including evidence of mouse activity, poor cleanliness, damaged and dirty equipment, poor food safety hygiene procedures and a lack of food hygiene training.
The food business voluntarily closed on September 15 due to the presence of an imminent risk of injury to health, because of mouse activity.
