Anglesey hotel bans kitchen staff from speaking Welsh
Carreg Môn hotel, Anglesey Managers at the Carreg Mon hotel say the kitchen language ban is a health and safety issue
Staff at an Anglesey hotel have been banned by managers from speaking Welsh when the head chef is in the kitchen.
The Carreg Mon near Llanfairpwll asked employees not to use Welsh because he does not speak the language and is responsible for health and safety.
The Welsh Language Board (WLB) is to write to the hotel and wants a meeting with the managers.
General manager Ruth Hogan insisted the hotel was not discriminating against the language.
Of its 25 staff, only three are non-Welsh speaking.
She said that there was "no issue about the Welsh language here".
"If anything we encourage the Welsh language to be spoken here. There is absolutely no discrimination against the Welsh or English language here, it's only about safety standards."
