Chinese takeaway, China Rose, on North Wingfield Road, Grassmoor, and Indian restaurant, Kaash Tandoori, on Sheffield Road, Whittington Moor, both received the lowest possible score - zero - in their last inspections.

Both eateries are now making the required changes after ‘urgent improvements’ were ordered by food hygiene officers.

An inspection by Chesterfield Borough Council at Kaash found a pile of dirty clothes next to the sink, chairs ingrained with dirt, greasy surfaces and flies in the store room.

Councillor Chris Ludlow, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “Kaash Tandoori on Sheffield Road was giving a rating of zero in an inspection carried out last August because hygiene did not meet the required standards and crucial paperwork had not been completed.

“We always try to work with business owners to help them improve the standard of hygiene. We have since visited the takeaway regularly and we are confident that measures have been put into place to improve and maintain hygiene standards.

China Rose was ordered to clean the yard area, clean dripping oil from the extraction system and to ensure open food is stored in original packaging and to cool and store rice correctly.

A spokesman for North East Derbyshire District Council, which inspected China Rose in November last year, said: “We have made further visits to the premises since the initial intervention in November which have included taking food and environmental swab samples. We are working closely with the Food Business Operator (FBO) to bring about improvements, some of which have already been done such as the provision and use of the recommended sanitiser for the cleaning of food contact surfaces and the replacement of damaged food contact equipment.

The Derbyshire Times tried to contact China Rose for a comment but an answer machine message says it closed on January 23 until February 9. We also tried to contact Kaash but were unsuccessful.
