Restauranteur pleads guilty to serious food and hygiene offences

Kensington and Chelsea Council’s food safety team took food business operators Robert Kenneth Newmark and Conor George Thomson-Moore to court for poor hygiene conditions and infestations of cockroaches, mice and rats at Beach Blanket Babylon on 45 Ledbury Road.

What were the offences?

Mr Thomson-Moore pleaded guilty to four offences that took place between September 2022 and March 2023.

The offences were related to poor food hygiene practices, actual contamination of food with mouse droppings, poor cleaning, inadequate pest control procedures and failure to comply with a Hygiene Improvement Notice under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013. Mr Thomson-Moore is due to be sentenced later this year and charges against Mr Newmark were withdrawn.
