world” has been banned from managing restaurants indefinitely When health and safety officers raided Zorba’s Greek Taverna in Bayswater they found it littered with cockroach eggs and mice droppings. There were sewage flies living in a tahini dip. Chef Pavlos Pittas, 60, admitted four charges of failing to protect food from vermin, rendering his food “unfit for human consumption”. Magistrate Margot Coleman handed him an indefinite prohibition order from managing restaurants and said the taverna on Leinster Terrace was “one of the dirtiest restaurants I have seen”. Ms Coleman told Pittas: “Your restaurant has been closed on more than one occasion because of poor conditions. The fact is there’s a continuing trend over a long number of years of appalling hygiene in your premises. You seem to run your restaurant with complete disregard for the regulations that exist to protect members of the public from becoming ill.” Westminster city council inspectors found mouse droppings under a counter used in food preparation and all over the kitchen. There were rat droppings and rat hairs on the kitchen floor and cockroach egg cases and mouse droppings outside the cold room. Cockroaches were found in the basement storeroom and on a shelf used to store lentils and dry goods. Sewage flies were breeding in the tahini, a sesame seed-based dip. Raw meat was stored on a filthy floor in the cold room and there were dirty containers of food with no date labels in the fridge. Officers found bloodstains frozen into ice in the freezer and a mincer covered in mouse droppings. They say the charcoal grill and microwave were clogged with thick grease. Pittas repeatedly failed to appear in court with relevant papers during his proceedings, which stretch back to June last year. He eventually admitted the charges against him and appeared in court on Wednesday. His firm Le Palefco was fined £12,800 at Westminster magistrates’ court for four counts of failing to comply with EU food hygiene provision. Councillor Antonia Cox, Westminster Cabinet member for public protection and licensing, said: "When our food safety officers found appalling hygiene breaches involving rat droppings and cockroaches at Zorba's Greek Taverna, they acted quickly to protect the public by shutting the restaurant down. “Westminster is home to some of the finest restaurants in the world and the overwhelming majority are well run with good standards.
