Mouse droppings found in kitchen of city centre restaurant

Bosses at the venue housed in the historic Manchester Club have confirmed they shut their kitchen voluntarily to review pest control measures

Posh city centre bar and restaurant Room closed its kitchen for council pest inspectors who then found mouse droppings.

Bosses at the venue housed in the historic Manchester Club have confirmed they shut their kitchen voluntarily to review pest control measures. But they said the whole building has issues with rodent proofing.

Customers who were unable to eat in the restaurant last Tuesday were told there had been a gas leak. And Room bosses have since confirmed to the M.E.N. there was also a gas leak on the day in question.

The kitchen was closed for a day while the problem was dealt with and reopened on Wednesday.

The bar remained open throughout.

The council has confirmed their inspectors found mouse droppings in the kitchen and that Bruntwood, managers of the Manchester Club, needed to deal with pest-proofing issues in the building.

John Dyer, operations manager at Room, said: After becoming aware that mice had been seen within the Bruntwood building Manchester Club, Room Restaurant decided to voluntarily close its kitchen on Tuesday August 19, to review and improve its pest control measures and pest proofing.

The business remained open throughout this process. Room Restaurant takes the safety of its customers very seriously and is committed to taking all measures necessary to ensure its premises remain pest-free.

As Room is on the first floor above street level, Bruntwood have been asked to improve the proofing of the entire building, to protect the various restaurants and retail outlets within the building from any rodent ingress.
