Health inspectors have released stomach-churning pictures from inside a Chinese takeaway that they closed down. Revolting images show the filthy kitchen covered in rat droppings and pools of vermin urine, while meat was left defrosting in a sink and dumped in dirty washing-up bowls.
Council officials made the shocking discovery during a routine inspection of China House takeaway in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, last November. Pictures taken inside the eatery in Pasture Street also show dirty cooking utensils, stained tea towels and mouldy food containers.
Lumps of raw chicken had been left to defrost in a sink, while other meat was stuffed in grubby washing-up bowls. Boxes of sauces and spices had been gnawed at by vermin and the kitchen surfaces were thick with grime, mould and food.
