A chippy branded "filthy" by food hygiene inspectors was shut down immediately then allowed to reopen two days later after a clean-up.
Dolphin Supper Bar on Halton Road in Runcorn received an "emergency prohibition notice" from Halton Borough Council’s environmental health team last Wednesday, April 26, due to conditions that "posed an imminent risk to health”. It reopened on Friday after taking "action" to deal with the "breaches".
A copy of the closure order shared by Halton Council with the ECHO showed inspectors raised concerns including "filthy" hand wash basins with "ingrained dirt and grease deposits on the basins and taps". Liquid hand soap was only available at one basin and was in a "dirty condition on the pump action top".
