Kentucky Fried Chicken has been fined £19,000 after flies, a cockroach and a mouse were found in one of its busiest branches in London's West End.
Health inspectors found a cockroach eating a chip near takeaway boxes and tongs in the Leicester Square branch, City of Westminster magistrates heard.
The council inspector also found there was no hand wash for staff in the food preparation area.
The firm admitted breaching five hygiene rules in August 2008.
KFC spokeswoman Nina Arnott said: "The restaurant has undergone a complete renovation, and the environmental health officer's barrister has told the District Judge that there is no longer a concern about these premises."
