In a statement, Shakeaway said there was '˜no excuse for the poor standards' and that an emergency team were currently bringing the site up to company standards.
A spokesperson said: 'This is a franchise store that will shortly close with the entire site replaced with a brand new kiosk.
'The franchisee has not advised the company that their store has fallen behind the high standards expected of a Shakeaway outlet.
'The franchisee will be severely dealt with.'
