It’s Furry Friend Friday again!

This week’s little one is Flo, the 2.5-year-old Spaniel X Patterdale. Flo here joins her dad (site manager) at work. Hard worker this girlie is, getting her paws dirty. Aside from having her own job, Flo is a very happy pup, always enjoying coming into the pub and especially loving the jar of treats we have. Just a sweetheart, this one

Come back soon, Flo!

Little bit of info:
- our main menu will NOT be on
- booking is essential so give us a call

Back again with Furry Friend Friday!!

This week’s pup is slightly delayed (sorry pup parents)

Meet Woody, the 7-year-old cockapoo

This handsome lad would do absolutely anything for a treat, although often gets one from us just for looking at us with those big puppy dog eyes of his, so much so that he recognises us now because of it! And he always thinks that everyone is here just for him (he’s not wrong)

Come back soon, little Woody!!

It’s Furry Friend Friday, my darlings!!

This weeks little baby is Bramble, the 20-month-old Border Terrier

Bramble is a very calm, sweet, and clearly very beautiful little girlie. A lot of people know her and her dad. Why? They’ve seen her all tucked up riding in her dad’s rucksack to work every day!! Now that we need to see!

It was a pleasure seeing your pretty little face again Bramble
Come back and visit soon!

It’s Furry Friend Friday again, my friends!!

This week pup is one you may not have seen much of, both in frequency and because of her size, but we sure are ecstatic when she visits

This is Mabel, the 2-year-old Maltese. Mabel always visits in her fashionable little pup carrier and LOVES a belly rub. Being the very well behaved and teeny tiny thing that she is, we often don’t know she’s even there! So small that, much like our well-known Irish Wolf Hound, William, we decided to do a little size comparison with a Guinness glass as seen on the final photo

Forever a sweetheart, our Mabel. Lovey seeing you!

Alright you lovely bunch, it’s Furry Friend Friday once again

This week’s star is a very well-known little lad, one of the local celebs if you ask us

Meet Mole
He is a 13 and 3/4 year old Norfolk Terrier X Jack Russell but is “eternally young at heart”. Mole’s parents describe him as an adventurer and an escape artist. Why? Well, little Mole here has made many solo visits to introduce himself to all his neighbours. And you wonder why he is so well-known around here!

Any attention sent his way will result in the puppy dog eyes making an appearance and his paw going up whether you have a treat in hand or not. We couldn’t love him more

Come back soon Moley!
