Greene King, the company that owns the venue inTelstar Way, has now launched an investigation into the matter.

A spokesman for the company said: “Food hygiene is of paramount importance to us and we have robust processes in place to maintain the high standards we expect, which has enabled us to receive a five star award during our last EHO (Environmental Health officer) visit.

“We’re currently conducting an investigation into some sickness complaints, however we are awaiting further information, and a doctor’s confirmation as to the cause of the sickness, before we can investigate further.”
