Pensioner died and 31 others left ill after eating shepherds pie in pub
Croucher and landlord Neil Billingham, 54, sat in court as the judge heard how the 32 customers fell ill.
Prosecuting, Carl May-Smith said: "Inspections before the offence showed there was no food safety management system in place."Three ate the vegetarian option and all 32 people eating the non-vegetarian shepherd's pie, fell ill and unpleasantly so. One of the customers died as a result of food poisoning."
"A horrible, horrible circumstance happened and it's something you take with you. I now second guess and third guess everything. Sentencing, Judge Campbell, said: "A healthy and well person died of a gastrointestinal haemorrhage induced from vomiting. No sentence I pass can reflect the loss caused to the family.
