A SHOCKING video has surfaced of the standards inside a Gwent Wetherspoons kitchen which includes brown liquid on the floor, out of date food and mouldy cheese.

The behind-the-scenes footage of the Bell Hanger pub in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, was posted on TikTok by the Wetherspoons Truths account. It is believed the video was taken by an ex-employee.

Mess and dirt can be seen in the kitchen with Wetherspoons iconic plates stacked high.

In the TikTok food allegedly had been left out overnight.

Wetherspoons said the pub had fallen ‘below the required standards in the past’ and there has been an ‘investigation and management changes.’

The TikTok has a part one and a follow up video which urges the kitchen manager to close the kitchen.

The part one video includes two grinning staff members posing in the grim kitchen alongside the dirty crockery.

A spokesperson for Wetherspoons said: “We believe that the photos are of the Bell Hanger in Chepstow and were taken by an ex-employee.

“It is difficult to comment in detail on the photos due to a lack of context.

“It is true that the pub in question fell below the required standards in the past. Since then, there has been an investigation and management changes.
