Shocking footage has appeared online of a dirty kitchen at a popular south Wales branch of Wetherspoons. The clips, which surfaced recently on TikTok, show piles of unwashed plates left on the floor, grime and grease-caked appliances, mouldy and out-of-date produce, over flowing bins and food left unrefrigerated or improperly stored.
The queasy scenes were uploaded to social media by a user named 'wetherspoontruths' who claimed they'd been filmed in the kitchen of The Bell Hanger pub in Chepstow. In one of the videos members of staff can be seen posing alongside the mess.
However, a spokesperson for Wetherspoons said that since the footage was shot the venue had undergone both an investigation and a change of management. They added that since the pub's last inspection in December 2022 it had scored a maximum five star hygiene rating.
