During an inspection on March 20, 2025, ICE uncovered five individuals working illegally in roles such as cooking, cleaning, and front-of-house duties. These workers had no right to work in the UK, were unpaid aside from minimal “pocket money” in one case, and were accommodated in six beds across three shared bedrooms that were supposed to be offices, indicating unauthorized living arrangements.
