Williams was Late last year an employment tribunal heard that Williams, who opened the restaurant in 2011, was suspended by his bosses at the hotel for gross misconduct and eventually fired. However, the chef was ruled to have been dismissed unfairly by the hotel's owners because he had previously been allowed to hold private parties at the restaurant, and had done so on numerous occasions. Williams, who earned £116,000 a year, has now been awarded £57,176 at a remedy hearing, with the chef arguing that as well losing out on his normal salary after being dismissed from the role in 2019, he would have been furloughed with the rest of the staff at The Westbury during the pandemic if still employed, and would also have received a Christmas bonus.
