🐾 DOG HOUSE RULES 🐾

We are proud to be a dog-friendly restaurant where you can bring your furry friend along whilst enjoying some tasty treats. 🐾🐶

To help everyone have an enjoyable visit, we do have a few simple rules that we kindly ask all dog owners to follow:

- Dogs must be kept at your table, not neighbouring tables.

- If your dog is barking and disrupting other guests, our staff may ask you to leave or return your dog to your car (not suitable on hot days).

- No dogs on the furniture!

- Please, if you are bringing your dog with you, ensure they have been to the toilet outside before entering.

- Dogs must be kept on a short lead, not extendable leads.

Additionally, please remember that we are a restaurant and must maintain high hygiene standards, so we ask that you respect these rules. Lastly, please bear in mind that not everyone likes dogs, so thank you for being considerate of other guests.

Thank you to our lovely regular for letting us use her image on this post 😊
