Gordon Ramsay has defended his restaurant after a woman claimed his staff did nothing when a dog allegedly defecated in the middle of the dining room. Last week, influencer Gizzelle Cade took to social media to claim she had an awful experience dining at the TV chef's Street Pizza restaurant in London.
Influencer's Allegations
In a viral TikTok video, Cade said: 'I want to tell you guys: never come eat here,' branding it 'hell's kitchen' in reference to Ramsay's hit competition show. She alleged that another diner had placed a puppy pad on the floor mid-meal and allowed their dog to urinate and defecate without any staff intervention.
Ramsay's Response
Gordon Ramsay, 59, has now hit back against the claims. He told TMZ that he reviewed the CCTV footage and that 'under no circumstances' did the dog make a mess. 'Over exaggerated as always,' he said, thanking the interviewer for their 'honesty' and asserting that dogs are 'welcome outside' the premises.
Cade has not responded to Ramsay but has posted several follow-up videos after her original clip amassed over 15 million views on TikTok. The American content creator claimed she complained to staff, including a manager, but nothing was done. She said she pushed to have the 15% service charge removed, which is increasingly common in London, but ultimately paid the full bill for her family.
Additional Claims
In another video, Cade stated that the dog had been licking tables while in a stroller, and the owner actively encouraged it to 'relieve' itself. She also claimed she clashed with the owner, who argued the dog was 'no different' to her newborn. Staff reportedly moved the party to a different table. Cade posted a video showing the dog standing on a puppy pad, but it did not appear to be soiled.
According to reports, Ramsay responded with a swiftly deleted video that included a note saying they were proud to be dog-friendly. He allegedly posted another video, which Cade branded 'beyond appalling,' joking about selling dog nappies. Metro could not verify the existence of that video, and Cade admitted she had not seen it despite responding.
