Video of dog on puppy training pad inside Gordon Ramsay restaurant sparks heated online debate

A video of a dog standing over the puppy training area at one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants has reignited a heated online debate.

Footage taken at Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza’s Battersea location and posted on TikTok shows a person holding a sausage dog on a training pad in the middle of the dining area.

As shocked diners look on, lifestyle influencer Gizzelle Cade, who posted the video and has more than 35,000 followers, can be heard asking: ‘Why is there a dog using a pee pad in a restaurant?’ What’s this?’.

On Gordon Ramsay Restaurant’s website, a page listing rules regarding dogs at their establishment states that dogs are only allowed outside.

Comments poured in from angry viewers, with many asking whether the incident could be reported to the Food Standards Agency.

Another said: ‘I’m a dog owner, in fact I’m also an assistant dog walker so my dog ​​goes absolutely everywhere with me (not a pet) and that’s still a big NO.’

Some called it ‘disgusting’ and ‘disrespectful to diners’, while others said they would walk out and refuse to pay.

But Ms Cade paid the money before walking out and posted another video warning people not to go to Street Pizza.

A page on Gordon Ramsay Restaurant’s website listing rules regarding dogs at its establishment states that they are only allowed outside.

“Gordon Ramsay pizza restaurant in London – I want to tell you, never eat here,” he said as he stood outside the establishment.

In another video, Ms. Cade responded to a comment asking why she paid the bill.

Holding up his receipt showing his £72.45 note, he said: ‘Yes, they charged us. They charged us the full 15 percent service fee.

‘That’s where I drew the line, like this is too much. The service charge was a bit steep and you’re laughing at me at that point.’

He claimed the manager took the optional service charge off the bill after he ‘fighted’ with him and ‘went back and forth’, but did not discount the rest of the bill after his complaints about the dog.

The influencer said the incident and the manager’s lack of action were ‘unacceptable in London and anywhere in the world’.

This statement came after the 59-year-old famous chef started a debate about tipping last week when it was revealed that a 20 percent service fee was requested in the holiday menus at Lucky Cat restaurants.

Service fees on the regular menu and in other restaurants are generally set at 15 percent; this is still higher than the typical 10 per cent or 12.5 per cent service charge added to bills in most restaurants in the UK.

Mr. Ramsay’s tips are even higher than those typically charged at rivals’ establishments, such as his former mentor Marco Pierre White’s English Chophouse, which adds 12.5 percent to bills.

Raymond Blanc’s Brasserie Blanc, Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck and Rick Stein’s Fish Restaurant all use 12.5 percent service.

The Daily Mail has approached Gordon Ramsay Restaurants for comment.
