Burger bar blasted by hygiene inspectors - with SLUG TRAILS found on chopping board

A burger bar near to the Stockport-Cheshire border has been slated by hygiene inspectors - slapping the eatery with the lowest possible rating. A report into Tropical Burger, Shakes & Waffle in Handforth found slug trails on a chopping board, uncovered food stored on a dirty floor, food past its best before - and a nightmarish staff toilet.
