Nineteen sick with food poisoning after eating pub carvery
Clostridium perfringens bacteria caused food poisoning affecting at least 19 diners after a Sunday roast at The Cwrt Henllys, officials confirmed.
- Torfaen Council investigated reports that multiple diners fell ill hours after eating a roast at The Cwrt Henllys Bar and Restaurant, Cwmbran, South Wales, on October 5, 2025, confirming nineteen cases.
- Microbiological sampling showed Clostridium perfringens caused the food poisoning, and public health guidance explains its spores can survive cooking and grow during slow cooling or unrefrigerated storage.
- Approximately 200 people ate at the venue on October 5, including 140+ paying patrons, while a family of 13 said eight fell ill and one pregnant woman described severe cramps.
- The Cwrt Henllys owners closed their kitchen the day after the incident, while Torfaen Council said no further cases have been reported and no wider public health risk remains.
- The owners announced process changes that remove the 'cooling down' period and pursue a potential supplier issue amid reports of contaminated turkey but no positive food-product result.
