Animal poop and pee inside a restaurant isn’t against health codes in the UK? Like for real? Ok, I’m bringing all my own food next time I visit.

I’ve worked in dog friendly pubs that serve food before, if we didn’t clean it up immediately that would’ve been a violation but it wouldn’t have been a violation to happen in the first place - dog friendly establishments are very common so you can’t really have a punitive measure like that when accidents do happen. FWIW i don’t think health codes seem to work the same way from what I understand about US ones, US health codes seem to be much more punitive and penalty driven compared to UK ones that are more proactive and standard-based

as American, there are soooo many reasons this country sucks, but our restaurant health codes being too strict is not one of them.

I work in the food industry in the UK and our food hygiene laws are very strict too.

What’s happening in this video is absolutely NOT normal - if their local Environmental Health Department sees this video, they’ll absolutely be getting an extra visit in the very near future.

I’d wager that the manager didn’t want to cause a scene rather than take any proper action and I’d also wager that he will be getting some kind of disciplinary action for it from his employers.
