The China Diner in High Street was raided by UK Border Agency officers on Thursday (September 24) evening.
Four Chinese members of staff were found to be working at the restaurant illegally.
The four - a 23-year-old man who was breaching his student visa, a 43-year-old male failed asylum seeker, a 41-year-old female failed asylum seeker and a 44-year-old male failed asylum seeker - have all been detained while arrangements are made for their removal from the UK.
The China Diner now faces a fine of up to �40,000 unless it can prove that the correct pre-employment checks were carried out.
