Wimbledon employee 'finds METAL BOLT in their lunch' at All England Club as '£13 salad is returned in shock'

A Wimbledon worker is reported to have swapped strawberries and cream for a metal bolt as they were left disturbed by their lunch.

The Championships are well into their second week, with stars now eyeing spots in the latter stages of their respective competitions on their hunts to make history at the All England Club.

Things have mostly gone smoothly so far, but for one or two incidents, including a search to find why AI technology was turned off during Sonay Kartal's defeat by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Sunday.

Now, a report has suggested that one of the employees at SW19 was left stunned by an unwelcomed ingredient in their lunch at the start of the week.

The Sun report that the employee had ordered a salad poke bowl, which traditionally features salad greens or rice, marinated raw fish, and various other fresh vegetables and toppings.

The report, though, suggests that the worker found a screw in the container given to her at the event, with it suggested she took the food and bolt back to the servers, who were left 'shellshocked'.

Staff are then said to have checked the refrigerated storage areas to see if there was a nail or screw missing.

Though the outcome of the search is unclear, the worker is said to have ended up missing her lunch because she didn't have time to eat a replacement that was offered.

The meal is said to have cost £13. Mail Sport contacted Wimbledon for comment.

Wimbledon spectators, meanwhile, are revealing what the strawberries and cream boxes at SW19 really look like - and the results have left people divided.

The summer snack, which goes hand-in-hand with the tennis championship, is in high demand at the tournament as punters line up in their droves and shell out £2.70 for a box of the sweet treat.

This year is the first since 2010 that the All England Club, which runs the tournament, has raised the price of strawberries and cream; which now costs £2.70.

Around 140,000 punnets are bought by visitors per year, meaning the new price will bring in approximately £28,000 for the club.

The 20p price increase compared to last year hasn't deterred foodies but some have been left disappointed with what they were given.

Some have claimed the box is a 'rip off' and 'mostly empty' containing only a 'handful' of strawberries and 'yellow' cream.
