We published a story on April 16 under the heading ‘Restaurants are told to improve’, quoting a notice from Epping Forest District Council.

The Council has confirmed that the notice was mistaken in respect of The Piano Lounge in Epping High Street, which has a spotless record and has never had any public hygiene food improvement notices issued to it.

The Council have apologised for the mistake which they blamed on a computer error.

We also apologise for unwittingly publishing incorrect information.
