An infamous restaurant being run illegally from a city home is continuing to operate despite being ordered to close four months ago.

Orlando's in Earlham Road is still trading, with listings on Deliveroo and Uber Eats, despite Norwich City Council issuing an enforcement notice in July this year telling owner Orlando Williams to cease trading as a restaurant and takeaway by October 10.

A source close to the Evening News even enjoyed a meal at the premises last Friday.

When asked by this newspaper for an update, the city council declined to comment.

Since the October 10 deadline, neighbours have reported seeing delivery bikes continue to turn up at the home, with cooking odours still floating down the street.

Becky Greengrass, who lives next door to the rogue restaurant, previously said Mr Williams had shown no sign of stopping, even adding a takeaway sign in the porch and placing a sticker in its window claiming the business has a four-star food hygiene rating.

Orlando's scored two stars at its last hygiene inspection for its B&B arm in May, which saw the business warned over food handling law breaches.

"Nothing has changed, in fact he's put more signs up," said Ms Greengrass.

"One thing that has got more discrete though is the collection of food, he's making them pull round the back now so no one can see them.

"The takeaway sign he's put up in his porch is ridiculous, but he's doing it in a way now that you can't see the food being handed over.

"According to the person I'm speaking to at the council he hasn't appealed, so it should be down now.

"I think because he has got away with it for years the council can't be bothered with it all."

It comes after this newspaper delivered an Orlando's lunch to officials at City Hall after they had failed to stop the shady chef - despite large signs above his door advertising the restaurant and a "swarm" of mopeds turning up outside.
