News Arse local: Mystery surrounds closure of Chinese restaurant

A Chinese buffet-style restaurant in Huddersfield remains shut today, some months after closing due to what a notice in the window says is an "electrical fault". All phone lines appear to be cut off adding to an air of mystery.

Just why anybody would go to a restaurant where food was left out under lights for an indeterminate length of time and why a food outlet with such a poor hygiene record remained open for so long are the big outstanding questions regarding the closure.

We sent a reporter up to the town to gauge local feeling. "They'd cook stuff", a market trader on a stall near the restaurant told us, "then just leave it out on trays for ages. That can't be right. No wonder the place is shut". Others told us of regular reports of vermin during the period the place was open for business, but no-one we spoke to ever admitted eating there. "Frankly", a passing shopper told our reporter, "it's totally baffling. I just don't know why anyone would give a shit".
