A filthy takeaway has been ordered to close after health inspectors discovered a huge rodent infestation, including mouse droppings where food was prepared. The owners of Ranna Indian restaurant in Walthamstow, north east London, were told to pay more than £1,000 when they were hauled before the courts over the hygiene breach.
Following a customer complaint, an inspection of the restaurant was carried out by Environmental Health Officers last week (January 25). Council workers found evidence of a "significant rodent infestation" at the eatery, according to Waltham Forest Council.
Mouse droppings were found throughout the building, including over food preparation and storage areas, the council said. Clumps of dirt and grease were also found, indicating a lack of any food safety management plan, the authority said.
