Wagamama, just outside Intu Chapelfield Shopping Centre, was closed to customers yesterday, and it is not known when the outlet will reopen.

A spokesman for Wagamama today confirmed that the closure was caused by a problem with a sewage pipe, after routine work was being carried out.

The spokesman said managers hoped the restaurant would open in the next few days.

A note posted on the restaurant's door read: 'Sorry, we are closed for the foreseeable due to a technical issue.

'We aim to be reopened as soon as possible.'
