PAW CODE 🐾
Dogs are welcome inside across our picks, because wet dogs and cold humans deserve a seat.
Keep your dog close, calm and on their best behaviour. No licking plates, no nicking crisps with your eyes, and no tail-sweeping the gift displays like a happy bulldozer.
If it’s busy, give people space and keep leads short so staff can move around safely.
Outdoors, pick up after your dog, keep gates shut, and don’t let anyone “water” the nearest plant pot.
Basically: leave places nicer than you found them, and we all get invited back.
