1 /5 C Saria: We visited this gastro pub for lunch and, while I appreciate the effort put into the food, the overall experience wasn’t as pleasant as we had hoped. I noticed dog hair on my plate twice, which was disappointing and affected my confidence in the hygiene standards.
I also wasn’t aware that dogs were allowed in the indoor dining area. There was a large husky walking around quite freely, and at one point the dog climbed onto a cupboard where clean plates were kept. Although I have nothing against dogs at all, this did make me feel quite uncomfortable and a bit on edge while eating.
I completely understand and respect that many venues are dog-friendly, and many guests enjoy that. My feedback is simply that clearer information about the dog policy, and perhaps ensuring animals aren’t in food-service areas, would really help improve the dining experience for everyone.
Unfortunately, due to these issues, the visit wasn’t as enjoyable as we’d hoped. I hope this feedback is helpful going forward.
