Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has responded to a viral TikTok video that accused a dog of urinating and defecating inside his London Street Pizza restaurant, causing significant outrage on social media.
The clip, which features a dog standing on a pee pad inside the eatery, has gained over 1.4 million likes and raised questions regarding hygiene standards at Ramsay’s London venue. The incident occurred recently, leading to a storm of comments and discussions online.
The video, posted by TikTok user @gizzellecade, shows two women dining with dogs inside the restaurant. The poster claimed that the dog was allowed to relieve itself indoors and criticised the restaurant’s hygiene practices. She also stated that despite raising complaints and informing management, the staff charged them the full bill plus a 15% service charge.
In response to the controversy, Gordon Ramsay said he reviewed security footage and firmly denied that the dog urinated or defecated inside the restaurant. He described the claims as “exaggerated clickbait” intended to damage his business reputation.
Ramsay highlighted that the restaurant has a dog-friendly policy but restricts dogs to designated areas such as the terrace, ensuring strict hygiene protocols are maintained throughout the venue.
While Ramsay welcomes well-behaved dogs, the presence of puppy pads inside the restaurant caught the attention of viewers and sparked debate about restaurant hygiene and pet policies in dining establishments. The footage clearly shows the dog standing on a pee pad, a detail that has drawn mixed reactions from the public.
The TikTok video has generated over 17,000 comments, with supporters and critics debating whether allowing dogs inside affects food safety and the overall customer experience. Ramsay’s rebuttal, including a tweet calling the TikToker the “only thing full of s***,” has intensified the discussion, making it a trending topic across social media platforms.
