Takeaway issues 'polite notice' after kids throw forks at staff

A takeaway has issued a "polite notice" after a number of recent issues with customer behaviour.

The Green Hut, found on Pasture Road in Moreton, took to Facebook to address recent behaviour from customers. Problems had included plastic forks being thrown at staff members and into hot cooking oil.

The statement said: "Polite Notice. Please can parents/ carers keep their children supervised at all times at The Green Hut.

"After a few incidents this weekend, one including a few children grabbing handfuls of small forks, which are given out for free, and throwing them everywhere and then throwing them through the open hatch where we use the fryers.

"This resulted in the forks going into the hot oil and also being thrown at members of staff whilst cooking with hot oil. This could have caused burns and injuries to the staff.

"Also today, children were pulling up plants, snapping branches off trees and knocked down some low fences. I have some beautiful calla lillies that have just come out, these flowers bloom for just a few weeks a year, then children snap them off and are running around with them. This may seem petty to some, but I provide this outdoor area for everyone to enjoy. It takes a lot of time, effort and money to upkeep it. There is a lot of nature and wildlife surrounding the green hut, and it should be respected.

"Bins are provided for litter, but it is still thrown on the floor or left on tables.

"If the bins are full, please use the council bins on the car park, they are literally a few steps away.

"Thank you".

The Green Hut is a favourite spot of Johnny Vegas. In January, the St Helens-born comedian and actor took made a trip to the chippy, found just down the road from Leasowe Lighthouse.
