Crickley Hill Café

Crickley Hill Café in Gloucester is a Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust café stop with views across the Cotswolds, and dogs are welcome inside. It sits perfectly for a warm drink and a snack before or after exploring the wildflowers, butterflies, ancient trees and trails that make Crickley Hill worth the visit.

The menu includes pasties, toasted sandwiches, cakes, ice cream and barista coffee, with options to eat in or take away. Opening hours are typically daytime focused, making it ideal for morning and early afternoon visits. Dog treats and dog ice cream are available, so hopeful noses have their own menu too.

The café works best as part of a wider Crickley Hill plan: arrive, refuel with everyone together inside, then head out on the trails with the scenery doing its thing. It's a practical dog-friendly stop that keeps paws and people fuelled without anyone waiting on the pavement.
