The park’s KFC and McDonald’s were given orders to clean up their act. The KFC Katanga take-out restaurant was the worst - where hygiene was so bad it did not meet legal requirements.  It is closed and will remain that way until spring.

The report also claimed that the parks own staff restaurant did not meet standards.

An Alton Towers spokesman said the outlets run by the park itself needed only a few minor improvements.

He added: "We are disappointed by one of the independent franchise units and will make sure they comply with requirements."
