The Pennycress

The Pennycress is a relaxed café in South Cerney, just a few miles from Cirencester, where dogs are welcome inside. It's a useful stop for walkers heading to or from the Cotswold Water Park, offering a chance to settle in with your dog after a morning by the lakes or before exploring the village.

The menu runs from breakfast through to lunch, with opening hours that vary slightly across the week. You'll find friendly service and a welcoming feel and dogs are treated as part of the furniture rather than an afterthought.

South Cerney makes a handy pause between Cirencester and the lakes and The Pennycress fits neatly into that rhythm. It's the sort of café where wet paws won't raise an eyebrow and you can both catch your breath before the next leg of the day.
