A popular Leeds takeaway which has been operating for 30 years was called “filthy” and “dirty” by inspectors who said the staff’s food hygiene knowledge was “poor”.
Jamaican eatery The Dutch Pot on Chapeltown Road was handed a damning one-star food hygiene rating by Leeds City Council, working on behalf of the Food Standards Agency. It’s the second worst hygiene rating possible, meaning “major improvements are necessary”.
Inspectors told staff to clean inside of the “filthy cold room”, especially the grilles, floor, ceiling, after visiting on November 9. They went on to tell them to “thoroughly” clean the lobby outside cold room, which had “filthy walls”.
