"I first visited Sunday 31st July at 1pm. I had my dog with me and could not see any signs so asked if I was able to bring her in and was told yes and given a table in front of the counter. Lots of people including staff made a fuss of her. See photo. I visited for the second time in October with a friend and again my dog. We placed our order and took our drinks and sat at an inside table. Within a couple of minutes a guy came over with a very aggressive demeanour and said “Is that a guide dog? No! So you can’t have it in here. You need to leave. That’s a kitchen there.” I tried to diffuse his tone and calmly explain that I thought they allowed dogs as I had asked before and brought her in to which he replied “That didn’t happen”. His rant continued and he became more agitated whilst we were hurriedly trying to gather our belongings together and other customers staring at us being thrown out. His parting shot was “A word of advice, don’t let my dad catch you with that in here”. It was shocking and embarrassing. I just wanted to run away, but my friend wanted to stay for her food we had paid for. It’s brilliant how many places in Saffron Walden are dog friendly, however, I appreciate that’s not for everyone. All that needed to be done in this situation was for someone to come over and discreetly say “I’m sorry we don’t allow dogs inside, can I help you find another table?” And when I explained why I was confused as I had been given an inside table for her and me on my last visit “I appreciate that is misleading and shouldn’t have happened. I’m sorry that we misled you” Maybe helping carry the drinks might be a nice touch! The fact that I am having to spell it out here is an indication of how lacking in customer care they are. I tried calling the number given to complain during the agreed time and one person said he’s not there and another said he was them, then lots of laughing and put the phone down on me. The Managed did call me, and as soon as I mentioned dog, he went into a long lecture as to why they were not allowed. It was a battle to interject and get him to listen to me and say that the issue was not my dog but the way I had been treated. Humiliated in front of customers and staff, accused of lying, treated like a criminal. He said the person was his son and they were aware of issues that they were working on and that he was there and that I should have come and spoken to him “don’t let my dad catch you with that here” and how long he has worked there and dogs have never been allowed again implying I’ve never taken a dog in , he has taken time out of his busy schedule to call me etc etc etc. His ranting and attitude was equally as rude as his sons. Thankfully my dog has better manners. With so many amazing cafes in Saffron Walden with friendly professional service and delicious food, I will leave this one to the school kids and greasy spoon brigade."
