Dining with dogs – barking mad?

So what could be more magical than dining in a cafe with your favourite foods, drinks, and pets? We love to involve our dogs in all we do and, even if you don't own a pet, the opportunity to play with cute puppies while taking a coffee break or enjoying lunch with friends is certainly something that has appeal. These dog-friendly dining cafes are on the rise, and some actually exist! Below is all you need to know about dining with dogs.

Over the past couple of years, dog cafes have sprung up in cities and towns all throughout the United Kingdom, including Manchester, Aberdeen and Newcastle. Some of these are what's known as 'residential dog cafes', which is a place where those without a dog of their own can come and visit some adorable doggies.

Where are the dining with dog cafes available now?

Central Bark, Manchester - dog-less visitors and dog owners alike can come join the Beach Dog Cafe in Manchester, which is part of an already huge doggy daycare and grooming centre called Central Bark.
