Ming Court closed by the FSAI

I see a favourite Chinese of herself has been given the bullet. Must have been bad to get a forced closure notice.

Yeah must have been bad all right. Been there a couple of times over the years and thought the food was nice but a lot of people giving out about the cleanliness of it online. Apparently was closed down in 2013 too but I never remember hearing that.

I used to go regularly enough years and years ago but hadn't gone in about 6 or 7 years. Went during the summer and I was so surprised at how run down it had become. We just grabbed a main so we wouldn't be hanging around in it and legged it.

Same here, haven't been in a number of years.

Always found the food fine.

However I always found the staff, let us say, "a little over attentive". Constantly filling up your glass during the meal with the expectation of you ordering more wine or beer. I recall asking them to stop on a number of occasions only for another member of staff to come over and repeat the whole process. We always had to laugh at the end of the meal when we'd would start a "mock stopwatch" as when the first staff member would come along and start hustling us off the table. Boy were they quick!

Simply gave up going, as it never was a relaxed setting

Hygiene practices must have been really questionable, if the FSAI had to act in the manner that they did.

I was only in there once, a good few years ago - it was poor so I never went back.

This is the place that does Dim Sum in Blanch? Near the Maccers drive thru?

The missus will be gutted - few places do Dim Sum.

Does anyone know if you can get more detail on the reason for closure from the FSAI?

Gaspode

I doubt you could get details unless they are prosecuted. It has to be really bad for them to close a place.

Interestingly enough, it doesn't appear to have been hygiene - most enforced closures you see are under breaches of food safety legislation, pursuant to the FSAI Act, 1998, however Ming was closed under the 2010 act EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010 - usually food origin or labelling.

Often the closures are temporary, until the discovered problem is sorted.

If anyone wants to read about the Official Control of Foodstuffs you can read it on the FSAI.
