Chester takeaway fined almost £4,000
On Monday, 17 February 2025, Sardar Muhealddin Rasul (47), previous owner of Chester Charcoal Grill, 62 Brook Street Chester – was fined £832, ordered to pay £2,737.50 costs and a £333 statutory surcharge, a total of £3,902.50. The defendant entered guilty pleas to seven food safety and hygiene offences.
On 21 June 2023, environmental health officers from Cheshire West and Chester Council visited Chester Charcoal Grill to complete a full food hygiene inspection.
They discovered the business had inadequate procedures in place to manage food safety and the staff were unable to maintain personal hygiene due to a complete lack of running hot water to the wash hand basins.
The premises were found to be dirty and high-risk foods, cooked chicken portions, cooked rice, mayonnaise and yogurt were being stored at temperatures which were a risk to public health.
Risks of cross contamination and from out-of-date food were found in the fridge. The premises voluntarily closed during the inspection reopening the next day after the hot water and refrigeration equipment issues had been attended to.
