Unfortunate Wimbledon worker forced to return their lunch after finding a METAL BOLT in her chicken salad

Unfortunate Wimbledon worker forced to return their lunch after finding a METAL BOLT in her chicken salad

A WIMBLEDON worker had to return their lunch after finding a nail in their food.

Not a human fingernail… but a metal bolt.

The incident happened at the All England Club after the employee had ordered a salad poke bowl.

However, as she tucked into the chicken, she was surprised to find the screw in her container.

SunSport witnessed the individual take the food and unexpected extra item back to the servers, who were left shellshocked by the rogue addition.

It is unclear how the piece of metal ended up in the £13 meal.

But staff quickly checked the metal refrigerated storage areas to see if there was a nail or screw missing.

And to make matters worse, after being offered a replacement dish, the employee had to go hungry because she did not have time to get a new one made up.

SunSport has contacted Wimbledon for comment.

At Wimbledon 2025, ticket holders are being charged £12.25 for a cup of Pimm’s with pints of Stella Artois beer £8.85, a bag of Haribo £5 and a sausage roll £5.10.

The potentially-dangerous nail scare on Monday lunchtime came less than 24 hours after the electronic line calling system – which automatically announces if a shot is out insetad of human line judges – failed on Centre Court.

Controversy erupted when Brit Sonay Kartal’s backhand on a crucial point against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova clearly bounced long but there was no shout of “out”.

After a lengthy delay, the point was replayed – instead of Pavlyuchenkova being awarded the game – and Kartal broke, before the Russian battled back to win 7-6 6-4.

At the change of ends immediately after the shocking blunder, Pavlyuchenkova accused Wimbledon of “stealing the game away from me” and showing favouritism to the Brit at her home Grand Slam.

A Wimbledon statement released six hours later apologised and confirmed the AI malfunctioned due to human error after someone turned the system off at one end of the court.

A spokesperson said: “It is now clear that the live ELC system, which was working optimally, was deactivated in error on part of the server’s side of the court for one game by those operating the system.

“In that time there were three calls not picked up by live ELC on the affected part of the court.

“Two of these were called by the Chair Umpire, who was not made aware that the system had been deactivated.

“Following the third, the Chair Umpire stopped the match and consulted with the Review Official.

“It was determined that the point should be replayed. The Chair Umpire followed the established process.

“We have apologised to the players involved.

“We continue to have full confidence in the accuracy of the ball tracking technology.

“The live ELC system relies on the Hawk-Eye operators, the Review Official and the technology to work in harmony. This did not happen.

“In this instance there was a human error and as a consequence we have fully reviewed our processes and made the appropriate changes.”
