Big Bites

Big Bites in Ripon is a sandwich shop on Queen Street where dogs are welcome inside, which means nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while the rest of the group refuels. The menu covers hot and cold sandwiches made to order, jacket potatoes, salad boxes and meal deals, plus gluten-free options and locally sourced pies and pastries. It's open Monday to Saturday 7:30am–3pm and Sunday 8am–2pm.

The shop has indoor seating with tables and benches, so there's space to sit down with a sandwich and a dog without turning lunch into a grand production. Popular choices include the B.E.S.T. hot sandwich and generous cold sandwiches with proper fillings, which suits those days when everyone just needs feeding before the mood dips.

For dog owners exploring Ripon, Big Bites adds a practical option to the mix and keeps things straightforward. It's the kind of place that suits ordinary but essential moments when hunger strikes mid-outing, so you can grab a bite and crack on with the rest of the day without ceremony.
