Hasanali Khoja, 60, has accused the UK’s largest police force of religious discrimination because he was expected to cook bacon and pork sausages – and was allegedly refused permission not to.
He said: "I had a letter from the human resources department saying that I would not be required to cook any pork. But this was not exactly what I wanted as a guarantee. The Met has shown no sensitivity towards my religion."
Mr Khoja added that their response was "ill-thought and discriminatory".
In February, the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) published a new guide to help employers avoid religious discrimination cases.
There were 600 instances of such discrimination handled by the courts in the year to April 2008, according to the CMI.
