Exploring dog friendly Devon Nacho The Devon is one of the most stunning areas in the UK from the stunning English Riviera to the wilds of Dartmoor, it's a great spot to explore with your pooch and luckily there's plenty of dog friendly places to visit. We spent 48 hours exploring Devon, starting with a stay at The Cary Arms in Babbacombe Bay near Torquay. This amazing hotel is the perfect base from where to explore the English Riviera and it's location in the bay is great for relaxing. The Four Legged Foodies We stayed in one of their Beach Suites which have masses of space and their own private terrace overlooking the bay. The room had beds, bowls and treats waiting for us and the humans had some treats waiting for them too. Dogs are welcome everywhere inside and out at The Cary Arms (just not the Spa) The food for humans is delicious and can be enjoyed in the restaurant or on the terrace area. Just look at that view!! The Cary Arms Babbacombe Beach Devon TQ1 3LX Anstey's Cove From the hotel there's some great coastal walks - we recommend a visit to Anstey's Cove for some stunning pics. After exploring the Devon coast, we decided to find out what it's countryside had to offer too and headed to Dartmoor. The Bearslake Inn is near Okehampton and is a stick's throw away from the National Park. This fabulous country pub with rooms embodies everything you'd expect from an English country pub. The menu is restaurant quality and the humans enjoyed excellent food. Dogs are also well catered for with our own hamper of treats plus beds, blankets and bowls. The Bearslake Inn has a beautiful garden with a little stream running through it. Unfortunately, the weather turned bad during our stay so we snuggled up by the fire instead.

Exploring this dog friendly Devon town Dartmouth is a beautiful medieval town situated at the mouth of the River Dart. The Royal Naval College sits on the hill overlooking the town. Dartmouth Castle is situated at the end of the river where it meets the sea and dates back over 600 years.    A fabulous way to arrive in Dartmouth is to take a trip on the Devon Steam Railway to Kingswear and then hop on the ferry to cross the river. Both of which are very dog friendly. There is also a car ferry that leaves from Kingswear.  Agatha Christie's House   Make sure to take the Greenway Ferry Boat for a sail down the river where you will see Greenway, the famous Summer home of the crime writer Agatha Christie, you will also see the boathouse which was the setting for her novel A Dead Man's Folly. There are many dog friendly places to eat in Dartmouth including Bayard's Cove and The Mad Hatter tea room.   There really is no better place to visit than Dartmouth for a truly memorable day out.

Natural treats for dogs Sometimes instead of going out it's great to have a fun at home date. Rani and I loved having a dinner date over which we can bond. And what made it even more special was the super scrumptious Ava & The Wolf Deli goodies that we used for dessert. Rani's absolute favourite has to be the chicken wrapped sprats. She couldn't get enough of them so much so she wanted to finish the whole bag if it would have been up to her. The dog hot chocolate went down a treat too as it not only smells amazing but was also really tasty. We can't wait to have a lovely dinner date again soon. Shop the full range here

Review of dog friendly cafe in Hove Standing Proud amongst the beautiful buildings of Third Avenue sits Oeuf , a stunning cafe which looks as inviting as it truly is. From the moment we stepped through the door we were greeted by the welcoming staff and shown to our table with lots of space beside it for Custard. They bought water and lots of fuss for Custard and a cup of tea for me after kindly helping me with my car parking app which was amazing because I was really stuck with it. Once settled we chose our food. I chose from the regular menu but they also had a valentines menu which looked so good. The food was delicious and Custard had his own egg too ( how could I bring him to a restaurant called egg and not give him and egg 🤭) The private bathroom facilities were ideal for dog owners they were so spacious and had everything you need inside.

Dog Friendly Sunday Roasts London Sunday Roast at The Porchester It's that time of year when all we want is to get ourselves to a favourite pub and have a big old plate of food to fill up our bellies and warm our hearts! One of the best pub meals has to be a traditional Sunday Roast with lashings of gravy! (The human is a Northerner so loves it as much as we do). Here are some of our favourite places where you can get your gravy fix this weekend. We are so lucky to have The Canbury Arms as our local because they always spoil us and the humans enjoy great food. The Canbury promotes seasonal British ingredients and every dish has something a little special. On Sundays you can get dishes like Rump of Beef with Braised Ox Cheek, Slow Roasted Pork Belly with Ham Croquettes and Slow Cooked Welsh Shoulder of Lamb. There are also vegetarian options and the staff always have treats for us. The Canbury Arms 49 Canbury Park Rd, Kingston upon Thames KT2 6LQ The Shaftesbury is a great pub in Richmond which has plenty of space for dogs of all sizes and a great garden at the rear. There is a doggie station for pooches to help themselves to treats and water and for humans, they serve great steaks and a fabulous Sunday roast. We highly recommend their trio of roasts where you get West Country rump, Dingley Dell pork belly, Sutton Hubbard chicken, crackling and all the trimmings. The Shaftesbury 121-123 Kew Rd, Richmond TW9 2PN The Goat is one of our favourite places in Chelsea! As you know we class ourselves as Gastronomes so we still seek out the best places each area has to offer and The Goat certainly falls into that category. We went with our friend Cedric and received the warmest of welcomes from the staff who immediately asked to cuddle us and encouraged us to take as many photos as we liked. We were even more delighted when the staff brought us water and a whole plate full of treats. Their Sunday roasts are amazing! You can choose from chicken, beef, pork and veggie Wellington and you get UNLIMITED Yorkshires and roasties with every meal! The Goat 333 Fulham Rd London SW10 9QL The Coach and Horses in Isleworth is a great pub with a lovely garden for those warmer months. Dogs are treated really well here with our very own feeding station and we even got our own sausage roll while the humans tucked into their Sunday roast. Male human had his favourite beef but she decided to try the vegetarian roast which was beetroot wellington and she said it was delicious. The gravy might not have been meaty but it sure was tasty enough for her to ask for more! This is most definitely a pub for foodies. Coach and Horses 183 London Rd, Isleworth TW7 5BQ The White Hart is a fabulous pub on the river at Barnes. It is in the perfect place to watch the annual boat race but also serves great food which you can enjoy on the terrace or in the spacious bar area. For Sunday roast we highly recommend the Lemon and Thyme half roast chicken and the vegan wellington made with squash, quinoa, pine nut & spinach is also delicious. Barnes is a super dog friendly area so you will be sure to meet some friends over lunch. The White Hart The Terrace London SW13 0NR The White Cross is an iconic pub that has held pride of place on Richmond Riverside since 1780! The pub is large inside and on multiple levels, it had a fabulous terrace overlooking the river which has some cover. There are treats for pooches on the bar and water is provided. The human food is a step above pub grub, especially the seafood and the Sunday roasts. The Dingley Dell pork belly melts in the mouth and is accompanied by goose fat potatoes and double egg yolk Yorkshire puds. Afterwards you can walk it all off with a stroll along the river or on Richmond Green. The White Cross Riverside House, Water Ln, Richmond TW9 1NR The Duke of Cambridge is perfectly located opposite Battersea Park so if you need to work up an appetite (we never do) before your roast dinner, then this is the pub for you. The Duke is a personal favourite of ours because they have a doggie roast just for us! There's also a roaring fire to warm up the humans after that walk! Be sure to look out for pub dog Frank the Chihuahua! The Duke of Cambridge 228 Battersea Bridge Rd, London SW11 3AA The Anglers is a fabulous pub on the Thames with a HUGE outdoor space. The pub is the perfect place to stop off after a walk along the Thames path. We can’t wait to go back in the summer and try out the garden. The Sunday roasts here are huge so make sure you are hungry! They also get very busy so make sure you tell them you have four legged guests so they can reserve you a special place. The Anglers 3 Broom Rd, Teddington TW11 9NR We love to visit a place that has a menu just for us - then we don’t have to just sit and watch the humans fill their faces! The Crane Tap in Twickenham welcomes all pooches every day but on weekends they have something special for us. On Sunday we joined the humans for a roast dinner. All the dog food is courtesy of Talula Eats and is absolutely delicious as well as healthy. We were all happy as the humans said the Sunday Roast was one of the best they had. The Crane Tap Unit A, Wharf House, 2 Brewery Ln, Twickenham TW1 1AX The Spreadeagle in Wandsworth is a magnificent pub where you can enjoy a smashing Sunday Roast and even stay the night. The pub has been around since the 1800s and still has the feel of a Victorian gin palace with many of the original features restored. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub and in all of the 21 bedrooms in the hotel next door which are tastefully decorated and spacious. You can read our blog about our stay here . We enjoyed a hearty Sunday Roast by the fire on a cold January day after a walk in nearby Wandsworth Park. The Spreadeagle 69 Wandsworth High St, London SW18 2PT The Holly Bush is the perfect winter pub, just take a look at their Instagram page to see how pretty it is in the snow. It's also just a stone's throw away from Hampstead Heath so another great place to refuel after a chilly walk. There's a real fire for your humans to defrost their toes while they tuck into a plateful of delicious food. The Holly Bush 22 Holly Mount, London NW3 6SG Tell us about a pub where we get our own Sunday lunch and we will be there before you can say roast beef. The Devonshire in Balham has just that along with other treats for us. The pub is huge inside and has tables in the front garden and a large rear garden with covered booths and a burger shack. Two Legged Foodies will not be disappointed because ours said the Sunday Roast was exceptional. The Devonshire 39 Balham High Rd, London SW12 9AN The Regent is a fabulous neighbourhood pub in Balham where dogs are treated like part of the family. If you are lucky you will meet pub dogs Max and Marley. We visited for Sunday lunch because we needed to sample the Sunday doggy menu, and it didn't disappoint! We got a whole Sunday Roast to ourselves along with treats and doggy beer. We then relaxed in the comfy beds while the humans ate their roast dinner. The pub is very busy on Sundays but there is lots of space and a large rear garden with more outdoor space on a side terrace too. The Regent 21 Chestnut Grove, London SW12 8JB The Alma is a fantastic Youngs pub and hotel in the Old York Road part of Wandsworth. Pooches are welcome throughout and in the hotel rooms. We stayed the night after one of the most amazing Sunday Roasts ever - highly recommend the Roast sharer. There is so much food, the humans can’t eat it all, which is always good news for us. It was lucky we only had to walk a few steps to our room for the night. You can check out our full blog about our stay here. The Alma 499 Old York Rd, London SW18 1TF The Prince of Wales Townhouse in Hammersmith is a super spacious pub so plenty of room for dogs of all sizes to watch their humans fill their bellies. Because our human is from Yorkshire, she loves their Sunday Roast sharer - a huge Yorkshire Pudding filled with a choice of 3 meats and a big jug of gravy! If that makes you too full to move, you can even stay the night at Prince of Wales Townhouse. Prince of Wales Townhouse 73 Dalling Rd, London W6 0JD The Artful Duke is one of the MOST dog friendly pubs you will ever come across. We doggies get our own menu which you can read all about in our blog post about this Bromley pub . We like the sound of the Swingers Sunday Roast where you get to try a bit of everything (but maybe that's because we are greedy). There's also a full Vegan menu including a vegan wellington with all the trimmings. The Artful Duke 196-198 High St, Bromley BR1 1HE Alice House This beautiful neighbourhood pub in Queen's Park is the perfect spot for a Sunday Roast. The interior is really welcoming as are the friendly staff. The humans highly recommend the pork belly and that always makes me happy because I get to try the crunchy stuff! Alice House 53-55 Salusbury Road London NW6 6NJ

Dog Friendly Hotel in Kidderminster A grand entrance Nacho's review of this luxury dog friendly hotel. The hotel is set in 70 acres of parkland in Worcestershire and has its own lake and stunning views of the Malvern Hills. Smell the flowers We visited in Summer when the flowers were in full bloom in the hotel's rear terrace garden where you can sip on cocktails or dine with the view of the Malvern Hills. The hotel grounds are great for walkies and you will come across some quirky little spots like the restored dovecote and the secret garden. Nowhere is off limits to pooches except the field full of sheep! Food for humans at Brockencote Hall Hotel is simply exquisite all made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Where are you sleeping? The rooms were beautifully decorated and lots of space for all my luggage (mostly treats) Gimme, gimme Any hotel who serves me up a sausage for breakfast gets the paws up from me. The humans had a sausage-free breakfast . The hotel also has a lodge which can accommodate up to 6 people and is a real home from home - perfect for a family gathering or get together with friends.

Dog Friendly Taiwanese Restaurant in Selfridges London A Dog-Friendly Experience with the World’s Greatest Dumplings If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy authentic Taiwanese dumplings without leaving your furry friend behind, Din Tai Fung, a dog friendly Taiwanese restaurant at Selfridges in London is the perfect choice. As dog parents, we love including Coco in our outings, especially during festive occasions like Chinese New Year. Leaving her home alone during this special time just doesn’t feel right, so having a dog-friendly restaurant like Din Tai Fung makes all the difference. As you approach the restaurant, you’re treated to a mesmerising view: chefs meticulously handcrafting fresh dumplings behind a glass window. Their precision and skill are truly something to behold. Forbes even declared these dumplings the World’s Greatest Dumplings —and once you taste them, you’ll know exactly why! I’ve been a huge fan of Din Tai Fung for years, having visited their branches in Hong Kong and Taiwan countless times. It’s one of my all-time favourite restaurants, so I was absolutely thrilled when they opened several locations in London. The fact that this one in Selfridges is dog-friendly makes it even more special! Now, let’s talk about their famous dumplings. They are delicate, flavourful, and filled with a delicious soup that bursts in your mouth. Eating them is an experience in itself! Here’s my go-to method: I carefully pick up the dumpling with chopsticks, dip it lightly into a mix of soy sauce and vinegar, then place it on a spoon. I top it with a bit of shredded ginger and then savour the entire thing in one bite. It’s an absolute delight every single time. Beyond dumplings, their other dishes are just as incredible, making it the perfect place for any occasion—whether it’s celebrating Chinese New Year or simply treating yourself to something special. Coco loves tagging along too, sitting patiently by our side as we enjoy our meal. Having her with us makes the experience even more heartwarming. We can’t wait to visit again—for more dumplings, of course! So, if you’re a dumpling lover or simply looking for a new dining spot, save this place and give it a try. I’m certain you’ll be amazed, just as we are every time. Din Tai Fung Selfridges 4th Floor, 400 Oxford Street London W1A 1AB Plus 2 other London locations.

Castles, Beaches and Waterfalls - The Four Legged Foodies Woof About Sherborne, Dorset. The Eastbury Hotel Dorset is a great county to visit with dogs as there are plenty of beautiful places to walk, beaches to explore and fabulous foodie spots to dine. We were invited to stay at The Eastbury Hotel which is in the pretty town of Sherborne. Dogs are welcome throughout the hotel including the restaurant and has 9 dog friendly rooms. We stayed in one of the Potting Shed Suites which have their own secure garden and lots of space for pooches of all sizes (our neighbours were 2 German Shepherds). The Potting Sheds are located in the Victorian Garden where the hotel grow their own herbs. Tamburino The hotel restaurant was not open for dinner so we headed to nearby Italian restaurant Tamburino where the humans enjoyed some delicious pasta and one or two cocktails. It was a lovely day so we sat outside but dogs are welcome indoors too. The following morning we enjoyed a sausage each for breakfast before setting out to explore Sherborne. Sherborne is a pretty market town with lots of history. There are many independent shops who welcome pooches. Our favourites were Circus , Winstone's Books and Forever England . The town is easy to explore as everything is mostly on one street. Sherborne also has lots of lovely dog friendly cafes. We tried out Oliver's as it was recommended by the hotel and it didn't disappoint. The cafe looks small from the street but don't be deceived as it goes back a long way and also has a courtyard garden at the back. The humans enjoyed tea, coffee and some yummy cakes. Ecco Gelato Our favourite discovery in Sherborne was by far Ecco Gelato because they served a banana and peanut butter gelato just for us! Just outside the town you will find Sherborne Castle which was built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594. Dogs are welcome on leads throughout the grounds of the castle. It's a lovely place to walk with a lake and waterfalls. BOOM!! We were heading to Devon after Dorset so we took the coast road and had a stroll along the path at Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock. The beach itself is dog friendly between September and April. The main reason we chose this beach is.......yep, you guessed it - FOOD! The Hive Beach Cafe has quite a reputation, especially for it's seafood and being super dog friendly. We had a great time in and around Sherborne and look forward to exploring more of Dorset.

The Four Legged Foodies Woof About this raw food for dogs We love all food (hence the name) but nothing gets us drooling like raw meat. You'll often find us hanging around her feet as she prepares a Sunday Roast (she's very clumsy). So she has toyed with the idea of a raw diet but was put off by the mess, smell and inflexibility when travelling. That's why we were all happy to try freeze-dried raw food by Zenoo. It ticks all the boxes when it comes to nutrition but without the mess. As we are often on our adventures finding the best places to recommend to our doggy friends, one of the most important things is having a food that travels as well as we do. Not all hotel rooms have fridges and our food takes up a lot of room in the suitcase but with Zenoo freeze-dried food we can travel light. If you're not familiar with freeze dried food, here's how it works: Zenoo take 100% raw meat then remove 98%of the water. The freeze-drying process allows the food to retain all it's nutritional value but means there's no need to take up space in your fridge or freezer and it will last 4 times longer than fresh raw food. It's also great for those non meat-eating humans who just don't want to handle raw flesh! Pour the food into the bowl, and that's it! No preparation, no thaw & no worries. As you can see, Nacho licked the bowl clean. Archie was delighted to discover Zenoo do treats too. Your first order will also include Zeolite supplements, along with a handy feeding guide to help you transition to a new food and tips to make feeding time more enjoyable for picky eaters. We've heard rumours such dogs exist!! For more information about Zenoo and to place your order, visit their website or check them out on Insta !
