Shoreditch House, part of the Soho House group, is under investigation by Hackney Council following complaints from a former employee regarding food safety issues. The individual alleged that outdated food was being served and that he was pressured to relabel items that were not sold, alongside claims of a rat presence at the venue.
Soho House has stated that the food incident is isolated and that relabeling unsold food is not their policy. The council has confirmed the investigation into food safety and hygiene practices at the Shoreditch location.
Watch for updates on the Hackney Council investigation, as it may influence Soho House's operational practices and reputation. The outcome could lead to stricter food safety regulations in similar venues, impacting how private clubs manage food safety and employee practices.
