Storehouse Kitchen is a lovely Ripon stop for dog owners who want a café break that feels a bit more thoughtful than the usual quick sandwich shuffle. Run by a husband-and-wife team, it focuses on fresh ingredients, homemade food and cakes, with options for vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free diets too. It works brilliantly after a cathedral wander or a market-square mooch, especially when everyone needs a sit-down and the dog is ready to melt under the table for a while.

For visitors with dogs, it has that warm, easy-going feel that makes lunch feel like part of the day out rather than a logistical pause. Think relaxed refuelling, good coffee, and a dog settling in like they personally approved the table choice.
