Strawberry Lounge

Strawberry Lounge is a cosy, family-run café in Alnwick that's made for proper refuelling, and dogs are welcome inside. Drop in for coffee and cake, settle in for something homemade, or just take five minutes in the middle of a busy day and let your nervous system unclench.

They don't just tolerate dogs here, they actually seem pleased to see them. It's the kind of place where your dog will behave impeccably right up until the moment a scone appears, then suddenly forget every lesson they've ever learned.

Perfect for wet-weather stops or mid-wander breaks when everyone needs a sit-down and nobody wants to split up. Dogs can stay close while you work through the menu, and the homemade food makes it easy to turn a quick coffee into a longer, more comfortable pause.
