The Rifleman's Table is a friendly café tucked into Salisbury's Cathedral Close, serving lunch, toasties, cakes and tea in one of the city's most beautiful historic corners. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

Dogs are welcome inside the café, so you can settle in together after exploring the Close or the museum next door. The kitchen runs until 3pm daily, with drinks and light bites available until 4.30pm. It's open seven days a week and makes a handy pitstop whether you're here for the cathedral, the wider city or simply need a dog-friendly table and a pot of tea.

The Close is traffic-free and central and The Rifleman's Table sits right in the heart of it—ideal for a break without the usual café-door negotiation or the worry of leaving your dog outside.

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside the café. Your dog can settle with you at the table while you enjoy lunch, cakes or tea in the heart of the Cathedral Close.
