Eat Out London!Café Fresh
A rodent-infested café in London’s East End has been fined nearly £27,000 after mice chewed through food in the stockroom. Inspectors for Tower Hamlets Council found a packet of Kit Kats and spaghetti had been gnawed by mice at Café Fresh in Whitechapel. Photos show nibbled food as well as a hole in the wall surrounded by smear marks which inspectors believe was the work of mice. The café, in Commercial Road, was closed by public health inspectors last October after contaminated foods were discovered. Last week it was fined a total of £26,579.

Inspectors for Tower Hamlets Council found a packet of Kit Kats and spaghetti had been gnawed by mice at Café Fresh in Whitechapel.
Photos show nibbled food as well as a hole in the wall surrounded by smear marks which inspectors believe was the work of mice.
The café, in Commercial Road, was closed by public health inspectors last October after contaminated foods were discovered.
The café was closed by environmental health on October 30 after they discovered a “severe mouse infestation” and contaminated foods.
Nearly two months later, returning inspectors found the owners, Fresh Frill Café, had not complied with food hygiene improvement notices – so charged them with 12 hygiene offences.
