Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

2 Sept 2026

BEAR Hockley is a big central café in Nottingham's Hockley neighbourhood, serving brunch, coffee and soft serve with plenty of seating. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in together without the usual scramble for pavement tables or leaving someone outside with the lead.

The menu covers breakfast and all-day brunch dishes, alongside speciality coffee and their signature soft-serve ice cream. It's open Monday to Thursday 8am–6pm, Friday and Saturday 8am–9pm and Sunday 8am–5pm, making it a useful stop whether you're starting the day or breaking up a city-centre wander.

Hockley sits at the heart of Nottingham's independent quarter and BEAR gives you a reliable dog-friendly base with proper seating and no fuss. Expect a busy, friendly atmosphere and the kind of menu that works for lazy mornings and long catch-ups alike.
