To think this is so wrong on a pub.

[Mummytotwox]

Me and my family went for a meal yday at the local family pub. Half way through eatting this huge husky type dog came out of the back, sniffing at us, running around, on the chairs ect.

Kids was scared, so dh asked if they could remove the dog, due to kids refusing to eat, and the fact it was so close while we was eatting. He was told to "fuck off if we didn't like it". So we did.

Are we wrong to hate the idea of this?!

If the dog came out of the kitchen then get in touch with the local environmental l health bods. Dogs shouldn't be in commercial kitchens.

If you are in that neck of the woods The Fox is the nicest pub by a long way!

I agree it's worth causing a fuss. Tosser!

Dog in kitchen - Bad.
Dog not moved if upsetting folk - Bad.
Told to fuck off - Bad.
Dog in pub - Lovely. I remember a pub I ate in that had a black lab roaming around. Very sweet.

I have worked for some awful pub landlords with dogs in the past - one who delighted in terrifying her staff with her mentally unstable alsatians. But to allow a dog to roam where there is food and harass customers is pub suicide.

Definitely complain to the chain. You can contact them here

I worked in a pub with a dog in and out of the kitchen it was massively beyond grim.

Don't assume places like Cafe Rouge are safe!

One of my children went for a work interview with a well known French style chain. She was appalled when the manager told her the hot water had been off in the kitchens for a week and so to use cold water to wash plates etc in. When she couldn't get them clean, one of the other cooks told her to put food on top of the dried egg yolk stain that was unremovable to hide it. That was after the cook tried to scratch the egg yolk off with her finger nails.

Dirty dishes were placed on dripping trays over the 'clean' trays of cups and saucers. Bread was reused from one basket to another. Washing up bowls packed with 'clean' crockery were left lying on the floor to be dripped on.

She left after twenty minutes, came home and phoned environmental health who visited them later that day and ordered them shut unless the problems were sorted. And this, according the them, is not an unusual occurence in these high volume, low paid chains run by enormous companies that own several chains.

The pub has the same name as the RAF display team. And it looks like a right sh&thole on Tripadvisor.

I have just tried googling the start of that review, OP, and it didn't come up. So maybe the review has been removed.

As it is in Leics and so am I, this is really bugging me now, as I want to make sure I avoid it? Can't you mention the name, there is nothing wrong with that if you are telling the truth, is there?

Oh I think I have found it now going by what LaGuardia said. The reviews are all terrible! I have never been there, but it's not too far away so I might have, thanks for the heads-up.

I'd complaint other company and ring environmental health.

Nadia it is a RAF display team in the singular not plural, hope that points you in the right direction and you don't see red

Thanks ivykaty, I have seen it now. It sounds delightful!

Hehe - I managed to suss it out yesterday and emailed the link to this thread to head office!
They haven't emailed back yet though.
