A NORTH Pembrokeshire restaurant has been fined a total of £2,100 for food safety offences, failing to display a food hygiene rating, and for falsely describing food. Business operators Ed and Louise Syke, of Llys Meddyg restaurant in Newport were fined £1,050 each, along with £5,000 in costs. Llys Meddyg had received a Food Hygiene Rating of ‘1’ following an inspection on February 20, 2019 by an environmental health officer from Pembrokeshire County Council’s public protection division. But the court heard that on September 4, 2019, the officer visited the premises again, at the owners’ request, to carry out an inspection to ‘re-score’ the business and provide them with a new food hygiene rating.

But a court heard that, on September 4, 2019, the officer visited the premises again, at the owners’ request, to carry out an inspection to ‘re-score’ the business and provide them with a new food hygiene rating. On arrival, she saw that the current food hygiene rating sticker was hidden on an internal glass door behind a lantern. The company had already received verbal and written warnings, as well as a fine, for failing to display their score properly as required by law.
