Dirty takeaway in Nottingham closed because of hygiene problems
The boss of a Takeaway in Nottingham has been stopped from running his business after Inspectors raided his place and found it was disgusting.
Magistrates were told Asif Jualli kept the Tiny Diner and Fish Bar in Liverpool Road, Balsall Heath, in a filthy condition with rotting potatoes, mouse droppings and cockroaches all in evidence.
The prosecution led by Simon Loom, claimed that Environmental health officers soon became aware of the problem after complaints of a 'foul smell'. Mouse droppings were everywhere, including in an oven, store room, in takeaway containers, in a red box containing an open bag of spices and floating on a bucket of water which was being used to prepare potatoes, as well as on the floor. It is odd considering the rules and regulations that this type of event can still happen nowadays. You would have thought that someone would have said something to the authorities a little sooner.
Cockroaches were allowed to roam at will, but officers trapped some quickly after arriving onsite. If the place had not been raided by the Environmental brigade, the roaches may have ended up on the menu!
Despite an obvious problem in the restaurant, the owner had done little to help the situation.
Asif Jualli, 39, Nottingham take away boss, of Pool Farm Road, Green Hall, admitted twelve hygiene offences at Nottingham Magistrates Court.
He was fined £6,000 with £1,500 costs, ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge and banned from running a food outlet for six months. This seems amazing that someone like this man, who has no regard for hygiene should be given only a 6 month ban. The likes of this man should be kept permanently away from all food businesses.
Mr Loom said that the takeaway was now in the new owner's hands, and was closed orininally as soon as the problem was known.
