A Mitchells & Butlers (M&B) pub in South Wales has been fined £7,800 after kitchen equipment was found covered in dirt and dried blood.
Environmental Health Officers visited the Crow's Nest in Cwmbran last August and found the kitchen in a filthy condition with no cleaning fluid to disinfect the preparation surfaces.
New members of staff had been left unsupervised to prepare food although they had not completed their food hygiene training.
