Mark Copley, who took the photos said “the chooks were on rotisserie skewers being brought into the store.”

He added: “The boot was lined with cardboard but nothing else. Not wrapped, not refrigerated. The opportunity for cross-contamination is immense, plus the fact food is stored in the danger zone for temperature.’

A sign on the door of the restaurant says, “Due to unforeseen circumstances this restaurant is closed until further notice.”

In response to the scandal, Red Rooster confirmed to 10 Daily that they were temporarily closing Perth’s Waypoint and Forrestfield stores.

“Following concerning matters being brought to our attention through a social media post, Red Rooster has made the decision to temporarily close two restaurants: Waypoint and Forrestfield located in Western Australia,” the company said.
