flag Oriental House takeaway lost its licence after repeatedly hiring illegal workers, leading to fines, liquidation, and closure.

flag A Colchester takeaway, Oriental House, lost its operating licence after being found to repeatedly employ illegal workers, with five detected in 2024, including one who returned despite prior warnings. flag The business, fined £200,000 by the Home Office, failed to pay and entered liquidation. flag Workers were paid small cash amounts, received no checks or training, and were given food and accommodation as compensation, raising concerns about exploitation and safety risks. flag The owner was notified of the hearing but did not attend, leading the council to conclude it lacked confidence in the business’s ability to meet licensing standards. flag The establishment, which last advertised on Facebook on January 17, is now closed.
