Chapel Arts Café, Bath

Earthy little vegan place tucked away down steps only 3 minutes walk from Bath Abbey. Dogs very welcome. Great soup. Oat and almond milk latte and cappuccino which were both good, although apparently the almond milk doesn’t froth properly, so go for milk if you want to be kind to the person serving you!

The Huntsman, Bath

‘You can bring as many dogs as you like- a hundred if you want to’. So says the barman! Stunning interior and great location right in the centre of Bath. However, they were only doing sandwiches (and fries) when we were in, so we went elsewhere for lunch.

The Plough Inn, Alsager.

Useful dog-friendly gastro pub only 3 minutes off the M6 at junction 16. Good pub grub. Carvery too, though they only had gammon the time we stopped. Dog friendly inside, secluded outdoor seating and a pleasant enough walk along nearby farm tracks – just head across the field, turn right when you reach the track and follow up to the bridge over the railway.

Coffee #1, Pershore

Snug little shop in centre of town – just opposite Tesco. Get one of the window seats and you can have the big windows opened right back to ‘get the outside inside’ for that continental feel.
