A head chef has won £20,000 for racial and sexual orientation harassment after his boss ranted that ‘Mexicans were not reliable people’.
A tribunal heard the comments came after head chef Cesar Omar Perez Vargas walked out of a busy Sunday shift because he had been given an ‘unreasonable’ 60 customers to cook for - more than he was contracted to serve.
Musician and then owner of the business Francis Rockcliff said that he would call the Home Office to make sure he was ‘sent back to the country that you belong’.
He also said he would tell officials that ‘you have been sexually harassing all the male staff.’
Mr Perez Vargas took the upmarket Pot Kiln gastropub in Thatcham, West Berkshire, to a tribunal.
