Injured staff | Worker files lawsuit against celebrity chef's restaurant

Kitchens are infamously high stress and often very unconventional workplaces, however, they are still held to the same standards of legal work conduct as everywhere else.

Often, a somewhat unspoken code of etiquette within professional kitchens means that those in the career of food preparation don’t consult HR on the issues they face whilst in that environment. A recent case comes from the kitchen of Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck restaurant in which a 28-year-old pastry chef has launched a £200,000 lawsuit against the company which evidences that such incidents can occur.
