A popular Italian restaurant landed a fine after failing to display its food hygiene sticker showing a rating of one. Colosseo in Bridgend gave false information about its hygiene rating when an environmental health officer asked about the sticker.
Blerdo Bros, the company behind the Wyndham Street restaurant, has since sold the business to Prego Bridgend. "I am the new owner of the business and I wouldn’t want the previous owner’s actions and decisions to affect my new business," said Prego director Vitsentzos Oikonomh.
Blerdo Bros and its owner Sofoklis Christou were ordered to pay a total of £4,548 after a hearing last month at Cardiff Magistrates' Court following the offences last May. Prego and Blerdo Bros are both registered at an address in Lawrence Hill, Bristol, but Mr Oikonomh said: "There is no link between the two companies other than being registered at the same place. It was recommended to me as a good accountant and I received some good prices and I decided that they would be best for my company."
