A Soho House venue is under investigation by Hackney Council after a former chef at the members' club contacted the local authority with concerns about food safety practices.
According to reports, the former employee reached out to the council after first raising complaints directly with managers at the venue, suggesting the concerns were not adequately addressed internally before being escalated to local authorities.
Hackney Council, which oversees food safety and hygiene standards for businesses operating within its jurisdiction, is understood to be looking into the allegations, though further details about the specific nature of the complaint have not been made public.
Soho House, known for its network of private members' clubs popular with figures in media, entertainment and creative industries, has expanded significantly in London and internationally in recent years, operating numerous venues across the city.
Food safety investigations by local councils in the UK typically involve inspections of kitchen practices, hygiene standards and compliance with health regulations, and can result in a range of outcomes depending on the findings, from no action to formal enforcement measures.
Soho House has not issued a public statement regarding the investigation, and it remains unclear when the council's inquiry is expected to conclude.
