The cafe also attracts non-dog owners who come in for a meal every day. While it may not be a gourmet dining experience, they offer a variety of options including vegan choices. My dog and I enjoyed a simple breakfast of fry-up, tea, and homemade bun. The atmosphere was bustling and lively, with the owners taking time to chat with both the dogs and their owners. Sadly, one regular customer known as "poor builders" was absent as he had passed away. Another regular was in the hospital, and her absence was felt. These events are just a small part of the unique experience at this cafe, which I highly recommend visiting.

I recently brought my new dog here and she got lost, but the staff were so helpful. I usually enjoy a cup of tea and a treat for under £5. Janet and her husband take great care of their regular customers, including "Armenbauer," and the atmosphere is friendly and lively. Give this café a try and be sure to leave a tip - highly recommended!

Bentley (my Labrador) and I had the most enjoyable afternoon. We felt so welcomed, and before we knew it, everyone—both dogs and people—were chatting happily in the café! My breakfast was cooked to perfection, and Bentley even had his own sausage breakfast. He was a lucky dog! Thank you, Janet and Ivan; we had a wonderful time.

We visited after spending some time at the boat sale right across the street. The food was fantastic, the service was incredibly friendly, and they even took a picture of our dog for us, which was a lovely touch. If you're traveling with a dog and looking for a place to stop, skip Newcastle and head to Dundrum. You won't be disappointed with the great food and reasonable prices.
