The McDonald’s restaurant in Mousehold Lane has been open for less than a year, with the company celebrating its launch in October 2025.<\/p>\n
The company refutes Zulu’s claims entirely. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson said: “The safety and security of our people and our customers is always our top priority, and we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of threatening, aggressive or anti-social behaviour in our restaurants.<\/p>\n
“We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously, the restaurant team has conducted a thorough review of the incident and strongly refutes any suggestion of unacceptable or discriminatory behaviour by its employees.”<\/p>\n
Norfolk Police confirmed that it had been called by a commercial premises on that day due to a dispute over missing food.<\/p>\n
Zulu, who sits on a police panel that discusses policing of black communities and other minority groups, said she has decided to speak up after suffering repeated instances of racism in Norfolk.<\/p>\n
“I used to ignore it and not speak up about it,” she said.<\/p>\n
“The experience I’ve had in Norfolk has been extremely negative and that has built my resilience. As a black woman who’s found her value in society, I can challenge situations now instead of being intimidated.”<\/p>\n
