Personal Recommendations and Tips
Although the seating is outdoors, this place just has to get a mention because of the unbeatable location in the Waterside campsite at the end of a lovely walk along the lake shore from the village. There is a single umbrella in case of a downpour!
An excellent dog stop, perfectly situated for a morning coffee en route north from London. Lovely fountain display with extensive covered seating area where dogs are allowed, plus plenty of outdoor tables too. Highly recommended!
Cosy dog-friendly room just off to the right as you enter this imposing pub near the centre of the village. Latté was a little on the dark side but they gave an extra jug of hot milk so I could add my own!
A delightful dog-friendly café restaurant in the heart of this attractive village with both a canal and a river, just a mile and a half from the M6 – M56 junction. Great place to break a long journey.
Rustic relaxed place right next to the seafront. Very popular with young families. Dog-friendly throughout with a sunny terrace out the back. Big advantage is that it stays open serving food into the evening.
Country pub with an attractive and spacious dog-friendly bar area. Great menu!
Right by the beach – still serving lunch late in the afternoon. No dogs inside but partly covered decking area outside which is a real sun trap. Substantial sandwiches!
Simple café right by the beach. Homemade soups and huge doorsteps of granary bread. Cappuccinos etc are machine made.
Handy, dog-friendly place right at the bottom of the main street only a stones throw from the beach Very old rustic interior.
Cosy little dog-friendly place right next to a beautifully restored working flour mill. REALLY good soup. (The mill is well worth a visit too, though you will need to take that in turns since it is not a doggie place.)
