Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the draw at Two Magpies, with reviewers singling out the full English, especially its sausages, along with the Mediterranean and the Power Breakfast. Close behind are the Boss burger, where one reviewer calls the chorizo the star, and the ciabattas, which several recommend. Fresh juices, the Americano and oat latte, soft muffins and the carrot cake also come up, and some describe returning for years or eating here almost daily while staying nearby. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and accommodating, and diners praise the variety for different diets and the value compared with chain burger places. One reviewer describes a group of four growing to six with no fuss from the waitress. The main complaint is serious: one reviewer with a service dog reports being told the policy allows only blind dogs, and says the manager told them to go elsewhere and leave after they called it discriminatory. Another gave a low rating after finding the owner impatient on the phone, though they called the food ok. Several reviewers close on the downstairs seating, where one group had the room to themselves.

“As someone with a disability and needs a service dog this busimess discriminates against me. The mamager was rude when In toldi her the policy they have for "blind dogs only" discriminates against people with other disabilities. Her reply was " GO.SOMEWHERE ELSE" When I told her their poilicy is illegal she told me.to get out. FOR HER AND THR BUSINESS UK Law to protect against discrimination n the UK, assistance dogs have legal protection under the Equality Act 2010, which requires service providers to make "reasonable adjustments" for disabled people and their dogs. Assistance dogs are trained to help with various disabilities and are not considered pets; they must be allowed in most public places unless there is an overwhelmingly strong, specific reason for them to be denied entry. Owners are not required to have their dogs wear a specific harness or jacket, and they do not have to disclose their disability or show the dog's ID to service providers. Now rralose I.will take action agaimsy the busomess fpr theor policy and the manager f9r discrimination in a civil case. She might not be soooo rude when your served with papers for human rights discriminatiion.”
