A woman was horrified to discover an entire cooked mouse in her dinner.

Ms Chen found the rodent in a dish she ordered while eating out with friends at the Chuang Jiang Fish Restaurant in Jingmen, Hubei province, China.

According Chen, she and her friends ordered a hot pot from which they all ate.

The group complained to the restaurant owner and demanded compensation, but were refused.

Chen then called the local Hygiene Supervision Bureau who carried out an immediate inspection of the restaurant, which was closed for three days but then opened as normal.
