The Kings Arms Inn, Shepton Mallet

This pub does not welcome "outsiders". We visited on a Friday night as were staying close by, while inviting from the outside upon entering the pub we were met with suspicion. The locals were unfriendly and one couple even complained that we were "sat at their table".
A large dog occupied a majority of the space in the pub and we sat away from the bar to avoid the dog as we had ordered food. However once our food arrived the dog approached the table and sat with its nose inchesd from the plates. I asked for the dog to be removed twice and each time he was half-heartedly called and allowed to return to his position within minutes.
Surely if the pub wants to advertise itself as a food premises the dog should be seperated during food service hours
