Article: Restaurant inspectors found mouse droppings in bowls

A CHINESE restaurant has been hit with GBP 18,000 in fines after inspectors discovered mouse droppings in serving bowls and food packaging.

The Rainbow Arch restaurant on Morrison Street was fined at Edinburgh Sheriff Court after pleading guilty to nine charges relating to a visit by environmental health inspectors in April.

At the time, the restaurant was described as being in a "filthy" condition, contaminated by mouse droppings and having dirt-ridden and broken work surfaces.

Inspectors also found an open sewage drain near the beer cellar and discovered that hot food was being left to cool next to an open door at the rear of the kitchen which looked out on a pigeon- infested courtyard.
