An Indian restaurant has been fined after an infestation of mice led to it being temporarily closed down.
Environmental health inspectors discovered mouse droppings in the dining area and throughout the kitchen at Bengal Cottage, in Burns Lane, Warsop.
Droppings were also found on the cooker top and on food being prepared for use in the restaurant, during an inspection on September 25 last year.
The officers also discovered a live mouse within a box of potatoes in the kitchen.
It led to the restaurant being served with a Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice which required it to close until October 1, 2012.
The restaurant's operator, Abu Rumel, appeared at Mansfield Magistrates' Court last Thursday where he pleaded guilty to six hygiene offences.
They related to poor cleaning standards, a lack of pest control procedures and poor food hygiene management within the business.
Rumel was fined a total of £1,800 and ordered to pay £1,906.50 in court costs, and a £30 victim surcharge.
