The fun police at UK’s “strictest” cafe have put up 21 handwritten signs for customers to obey.
Customers of the Hidden Gem Cafe have been left bewildered by the many notices around the cafe’s premises dictating what punters can and can’t do.
The Manchester establishment at Heaton Park has ruled that dogs are not allowed, children must be supervised and that toilets are for customers only.

The the extensive signage has seen punters take to social media to vent their frustration, while others seem to understand where the cafe is coming from.
“Things like this really p*ss me off,” one person said. “Like most of these things are just common sense. Makes you think the owners are d*cks and in that case I’d rather take my custom elsewhere.”
Another person commented: “All reasonable requests, but it’s extremely funny how many signs there are.”

The signs were first flagged by journalist Jack Fitfield, who spotted the signs on a trip to the garden centre where the cafe operates out of.
He found the signs overbearing, but funny, saying: “Anyone know if there’s any rules I have to follow at this cafe?
“I was shocked to be greeted by a sign telling me I could be asked to leave if I consumed my own food or drink.
“As I approached the cafe to buy myself a slice of cake, I noticed a lot more signs with different rules and regulations.”

Jack said he get like he was breaking a rule when he took a swig of water from his water bottle, saying: “I was worried I’d get kicked out, but of course I didn’t.”
Despite the many signs, Jack said the cafe’s staff were “friendly enough”, adding: ”I did see a guy throw his leftover chips on the floor to feed the birds, but there was no sign saying not to do that, so I guess he was within the cafes rules.”
Manager Mark said the signs are to remind customers of basic ettiequte. “It’s not a picnic site,” he said.
