Dogs in eating establishments
I ask this question out of interest, yesterday I was in a village pub which has two bars, one that is used as a restaurant the other used as the public bar where dogs are allowed,
a party of four people came in wanting lunch and was told that the restaurant was full but a table may become free in about half an hour or so the people said they did not mind having their lunch in the public bar to save waiting to which the landlady said OK, the lunches were served to their table but a few minuets later a local guy walked in with his dog, the people that were eating complained saying dogs are not allowed in any eating area to which the landlady replied ''dogs are not allowed in the restaurant side but have always been allowed in the public bar'' the people left threatening to report the pub to hygiene standards. So who was right?

The people eating were being awkward in my opinion, If it had been me running the pub (which I have done in the past) I would have told the people to get out and refused to serve them anymore.

Thank you all for your very interesting answers, I myself have no objections to having well behaved dogs in pubs but I was more interested in the legal side of it, but it seems
that taking dogs into eating places is entirely at the discretion of the premises owner
so I have learnt something new today.

"I’m curious to know what would happen if the dog /s after smelling the foods starts attacking the peoples’ meals and ‘wolfing’ it down."
The owners of the dogs would be told to leave the premises (and take the dog with them)... exactly the same as the parents of a child would be asked to leave if their child was causing a disruption and they couldn't keep it under control.
A pub is there for the benefit of all customers, the landlord can impose whatever conditions they like when it comes to allowing dogs, snakes, elephants.... whatever into the pub, but if anyone is causing a disruption to other customers either by their own actions or those of their pet they would be asked to leave.
