Red Star in Cowley Road has been fined the sum for failing to comply with their duty of care around waste management.
The Chinese restaurant was handed a zero-out-of-five food hygiene rating after an inspection in April 2025.
Now, the restaurant has been given a three-out-of-five rating, deemed ‘generally satisfactory’ after Oxford City Council environmental health officers visited the business in September.
Previously, one key issue was the cleanliness and condition of both the facilities and building, which were deemed to require “major improvement”.

This includes having an appropriate layout, ventilation, hand-washing facilities and pest control to enable good food hygiene.
Also needing “major improvement” was the management of food safety, referring to having a system or checks in place to ensure that food sold or served is safe to eat.
It also includes if there is evidence that staff know about food safety, and whether the food safety officer has confidence that standards will be maintained in future.
Now, all three areas have been deemed ‘generally satisfactory’.
The fine last year was after an investigation into the business originally began due to concerns relating to the storage of waste.
However, during a duty of care visit, further issues were identified, including concerns about food hygiene and the condition of the kitchen.
