Hammersmith and Fulham Council's Licensing Sub-Committee suspended Ringo Pizza's licence for one month on 30 September 2026 after an illegal worker was discovered at the restaurant. The Home Office Immigration Enforcement Team initiated the review following an intelligence-led visit on 18 September 2025, where an employee admitted working for two months without pre-employment checks.
The council's decision followed the discovery of an individual working without the right to work in the UK, which led to the Home Office Immigration Enforcement Team initiating a review. This action by the Licensing Sub-Committee addresses instances where businesses are found to employ individuals without legal authorisation.
