Maesteg pub Sunday lunch leaves 43 people ill with food poisoning

Siobhan Adams, PHW’s consultant in health protection, said that, in conjunction with Cwm Taf Morgannwg health board and environmental health, it was “concluding its investigation into reports of illness following customers eating Sunday lunch at the Corner House Inn in Llangynwyd, Maesteg”.

“We have received 43 reports of illness in people who ate food prepared at the premises and can confirm that Clostridium perfringens has been identified as the cause,” she added.

“The risk to the public is low, and no additional cases are likely at this stage.

“We would like to thank the business for the constructive and proactive way they have engaged with our investigation.”

On its Facebook page, the Corner House Inn said it was “devastated” about what happened and, after temporarily closing to deal with the issue, confirmed it had since returned to “normal opening hours”.
