Temperatures in the kitchen at Bistro 8 in Caerphilly hit 51C on the hottest day of the year on Monday. It will re-open on Wednesday with space made in the walk-in fridge for staff to nip in and cool down.
The wording of the title made it sound like authorities forced them to close. In this case the manager/owner decided to shut down because it was too hot for their own staff, so kudos to them.
I would have guessed something more like a manager saying, “Well, all my kitchen employees have gone to the hospital for heat stroke, so I guess we’ll have to close for the day, since they literally can’t work.”
