A Chinese in Greenwich restaurant has again been punished after failing to meet health and safety requirements.
The Peninsula restaurant in Bugsby’s Way was closed down immediately after an Environmental Health inspection early last month.
Inspectors found mouse droppings on and near plates and cutlery, and on top of food storage containers.
After follow up inspections, the restaurant was allowed to reopen eight days later on April 13th.
The same restaurant was hit with a £13,500 fine last year after inspectors found various food hygiene breaches.
Councillor Maureen O Mara, Greenwich Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety said: “We took immediate action, backed by the courts, to close the restaurant which was operating with a blatant disregard for the health of its customers.”
“We also want to make it clear that we are keeping a very close eye on this establishment and will not hesitate to take permanent action to prevent a minority of irresponsible restaurant owners from operating in Greenwich if they cannot get a grip on hygiene. This is a power we have used before, and are more than willing to use again.”
I think is about time to crack-down on so many law breakers, Greenwich is a to tourist area Imagen that? they make enough revenue to improve and to follow the rules within the establishment, and I think that’s so vital.
