Toy Soldier

Chartered Institute of Environmental Health : Spirit changes pub management after £22k hygiene prosecution
A Preston pub managed by the Spirit Group has been fined after environmental health officers found 5cm of grease on the kitchen floor and mouse droppings in a children’s play area.

The Toy Soldier Pub, in the town’s Deepdale Retail Park, was ordered to pay £22,739 in costs and fines after admitting a number of offences.

The EHO who led the investigation, Simon Neighbour, said it was the worst case he had seen in 10 years in the job. The pub was closed in April last year following the inspection but reopened four days later once improvements were made.
