Gordon Ramsay's London pizza restaurant faces backlash after 'customer's dog allowed to go to the toilet' inside

A furious diner has blasted Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza after claiming a dog was allowed to go to the toilet inside one of its London restaurants, sparking a storm of outrage online.

Footage shows a small sausage dog standing on what appears to be a training pad, as customers eat their meals inside the venue in Battersea.

Customer Giselle Cade, who was dining with her husband, can be heard questioning a waitress about the situation, but the staff member’s response is unclear.

While the clip does not show the dog actually going to the toilet, Ms Cade later took to TikTok to describe what she says happened.

“I’m at the Gordon Ramsay pizza restaurant in London. I want to tell you guys never come here,” Ms Cade said, standing outside the restaurant in Battersea.

“I’m sitting at this restaurant enjoying a beautiful evening with my husband and my newborn baby, and I look up, and I see some woman with her dog on a wee wee pad taking a p*** and a s**t.

“I tell the waitress about this, and she doesn't do anything about it. The manager was there the entire time, he said nothing.

“I still paid the bill, but I'm telling you now, do not come to this restaurant, they allow dogs to s**t and p*** where you are eating.

“Beyond disgusting.”

The video has sparked intense criticism from people online, with some labelling it as “disgusting” and incredibly unsanitary and unhygienic.

One user wrote: “What the heck is wrong with people? She's right, that's gross and unsanitary! Pee splashing everywhere, (the dog can't help it, that's just the nature of peeing, it's forceful, and it makes little droplets!) And then it pooed too..? You gotta smell dog sh** while you eat? Absolutely not.”

“This is disgusting, why are dog owners like this? Not everyone wants to be near your dog, think about other people for Christ‘s sake!,” said another.

Another user wrote: “I love my dogs and would love to bring them everywhere including a restaurant (only in a outside patio) but I don't because no matter how well behaved they are, people don't like it.

“Right or wrong, people don't like it, so you leave the pets at home unless it's a LEGITIMATE service dog.”

Gordon Ramsay Restaurants have been contacted by The Standard for comment.
