A popular Kenilworth restaurant will next week find out whether it is having its licence revoked after alleged illegal workers were found by Home Office Immigration investigators.

Nub News revealed earlier this month that Indian Edge was raided in May 2025 and four Bangladeshi men were arrested for suspected working breaches.

The Home Office investigation triggered a licence review at Warwick District Council, with the Warwick Road eatery risking losing permission to serve alcohol.

Locals have had the chance to comment on the review over the past few weeks, and a date for the hearing has now been set.

It will be held at 10am on Thursday 5 November at Leamington Spa Town Hall.

However, the meeting is set to be held in private with no press or public present.

The results of the hearing are expected to be shared by the council after it is concluded.

"Home Office Immigration have grounds to believe the licence holder has failed to meet the licensing objectives of prevention of crime and disorder, as illegal working has been identified at this premises," a notice from the council said earlier this month.

Every premises with a licence to sell alcohol has to meet the objective of preventing crime and disorder.

Last year, three Bangladeshi men were arrested at Indian Edge for working in breach and another Bangladeshi male was arrested for breach of bail.

All were bailed and a 'notice of liability' was issued to the Home Office civil penalty compliance team (CPCT). The case remains ongoing.

Indian Edge also faces a major fine, if it is found to have broken the law. This will not be decided at next week's hearing.

The Home Office was unable to provide further information on the case, but a spokesperson said in a statement: "Illegal working undermines honest business, exploits vulnerable individuals and fuels organised immigration crime.

"More than 17,000 illegal working arrests have been made since July 2024, a 122 per cent increase on the two years previous, with almost 25,000 visits carried out across the country, a 111 per cent increase."

Civil Penalty Notices include a fine of up to £45,000 per illegal worker for a first breach and up to a maximum of £60,000 for repeat offending.

Indian Edge has been approached for comment by Nub News.
