Little Yellow Pig

Little Yellow Pig is a compact café on Godstall Lane in the heart of Chester city centre, serving coffee, brunch and cakes in a relaxed eat-in space where dogs are welcome inside. It's the sort of straightforward city-centre stop that makes shopping days and sightseeing loops a lot easier when you've got a dog in tow.

The menu runs from breakfast through to afternoon treats, with eat-in or takeaway options available Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm and Sunday from 10am to 3pm. The kitchen closes at 3pm weekdays and Saturdays, and 2:30pm on Sundays. Dogs can settle under the table while you refuel, and the city-centre location means you're never far from the next leg of the day.

Free dog treats sit next to the cakes, so hopeful noses are well catered for. The welcome is clear and the vibe is easy. If you're navigating Chester with a lead in one hand and a coffee list in the other, this one does the job without fuss.
