Chinese takeaway New Panda in Wickham shuts its doors
New Panda, in The Square, Wickham opened in November.
The business was formerly known as Panda and its previous manager manager An Lee and owner Mohammed Riaze were fined £12,000 for a series of cleanliness failings at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court in September.
The takeaway was subsequently overhauled and deep cleaned, reopening with a new look, new manager and new name.
