We recently went there for dinner with our pups, and the experience was brilliant for all of us. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were greeted with lots of love and fuss, plus water bowls were quickly provided, ensuring they were comfortable from the get-go. What really stood out was the option to buy them doggy beer, a fun and thoughtful touc
