That's hilarious.

They should let folk know if they dealt with the long list of complaints (pests, kitchen hygiene, etc) from their health & safety report, viewable on the council's website.

Thanks to that report, (and chats with ex kitchen staff) I don't eat there, and always advise others to rethink if they were going to.

I just read the bit that you quoted, but thats about standard level of badness for most pub kitchens.

There is no such thing as a perfect hygiene report, especially when most pub/city centre restaurant kitchens are conversions, and tend to have at least some built in faults.
