Curry house boss fined over mouldy food

The boss of a Wolverhampton restaurant and takeaway where food was stored in a cellar that was in an "appalling state" has been fined £5,500.

Out-of-date cheese and moulding peppers were discovered when environmental health officers visited The Standard tandoori, in Cleveland Street.

District Judge Graham Wilkinson told owner Altaf Hussain if customers had seen the terrible state of his cellar they "would have run a mile before consuming anything sold on your premises".
