A high end Mayfair restaurant found hiring illegal workers, most likely on pay far below minimum wage. Really hope these people are helped and not just deported or bailed only to be exploited by another business

  1. One restaurant is an easy target – low impact high profile. If they did the same in the construction industry (which they 100% know about) they would wipe out a quarter of the sector, it’s all a media farce.

  2. Does anyone remember when Byron Burgers invited their employees of 4/5 years to a fake ‘Health and Safety’ course – but instead arranged for the Home Office to meet them there instead?

  3. Do they see themselves as being exploited? Or did they enter the country illegally, and what is a terrible salary to you, is still a great salary to them.

  4. Why shouldn’t they be deported?

    They have no entitlement to be here and what deterrent will there be if people who illegally overstay are simply allowed to remain in the country even if caught.

  5. Greedy owners. They did not want to hire legally workers and pay them a decent salary, this is supposed to be an expensive restaurant

  7. They need to be deported straight away as a sign that working illegal is not ok.

  8. It’s funny how articles like this pop up every now and then but Deliveroo and uber eats continue to be allowed to operate without question

  9. Now do the other ones, this would probably bring the number of fine dining restaurants to half :”””) working irregularities in this type of jobs is how basically restaurants “survive”

  10. The restaurant may have been serving some Armenian dishes and has an Armenian name (Lusin/Լուսին is Armenian for moon) but I think it’s important to mention it wasn’t established, ran or owned by Armenians.

  11. Not the only restaurant in Mayfair hiring illegal workers

  12. The problem is we now have a huge amount of illegals in the country that need to make money somehow, otherwise they will just go into crime, making the country very unsafe, I would rather they work illegally.

    The government do very little to help this situation.

  14. If they’re illegal then why do you hope they aren’t deported?

  16. What? A rich London restaurant owner EXPLOITING people for profit?!?!
