You are legally entitled to 24 hours off every week, or 48 hours every two weeks worked.
Just because you have no contract, it does not mean you are working illegally. A lot of places (high street brands too) operate on a 'verbal contract'. An absolute pile of shit, bad for the employee, as nothing is in writing, and the employer (as you are finding) can bend the rules to suit themselves.
Do you have regular payments made from your employer into your bank account? This alone is proof enough of employment, combined with your matching tax code.
If they want to get shitty and sack you for kicking up a fuss, go to a tribunal for unfair dismissal. Or as others have said, do a runner with pockets full of gold
