Barry’s Fish Bar, Bromley-by-Bow ‘has improved hygiene’

Barry’s Fish Bar in Devons Road has been re-inspected a week after it was visited by inspectors from Tower Hamlets ouncil on April 30. 

The inspection was sparked after a complaint was made about the takeaway, which then led to the discovery of the mouse in a trap and mouse droppings inside the premises.

“There was also a gap under the rear external door which was the suspected point of entry for a mouse.

“As a result, we have reduced the premise’s hygiene rating to one star and have given them an action plan to get the situation under control.”

The spokesperson added: “In this situation, the level of mouse activity did not present an imminent risk to public health and was not therefore closed.”

Inspectors returned to Barry’s Fish Bar on May 7 to make sure improvements were being made. 

They said: “The company has undertaken a lot of changes to prevent mice accessing the property and the cleaning schedule has been improved.
