A historic Derby pub has been handed a 1-star food hygiene rating after inspectors found dead mice and filthy conditions.

Derby City Council’s environmental health inspectors visited The Douglas Bar in Normanton Road on September 23 and inspected the bar, the beer garden, the cellar and the toilets.

During the visit, inspectors discovered mouse droppings in the bar area, along with a glue board containing dead mice.

In the bar area, mouse droppings were found under the pumps on the floor and on the shelves near the glass wash.

Elsewhere, the ceiling was found to be mouldy in the cellar, and the light switch was also dirty.

The men’s and women’s bathrooms were also found to have poor cleaning, with the report saying it was ‘clear’ the business didn’t put adequate procedures in place. ‘
