Managers at the Hawthorn Bar said their “thoughts are with those affected and we wish them a speedy recovery”.

The city council has given the pub the go-ahead to stay open after a visit by environmental health officers.

The infections were linked to customers who visited the bar on Sunday, July 26.

A message posted by the pub on social media said: “We wish to inform all customers that we have been visited by Environmental Health since being notified. We were given approval from the local authority to continue trading with our measures in place and have cooperated fully.
