Soho House venue under investigation for food safety
A former chef contacted Hackney Council after complaining to managers at the members' club.
A former staff member at a Soho House venue in Shoreditch is accusing the club of serving expired food and allowing rats to infest the premises. Kamran Khan, who worked at the location, claims he was pressured to re-label remaining food instead of throwing it out, despite being told this was against company policy. Khan's contract was terminated two months after he initially raised these concerns, though Soho House maintains the termination was unrelated.
Hackney Council is now investigating food safety and hygiene at the Shoreditch House location. Soho House, known for hosting celebrities like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is a private members club with locations across Europe, North America and Asia. The club's monthly membership fee starts at £291.67, though membership has been under financial strain.
