Dog Friendly East Dulwich in 2024 - What is/isn't

[LondonFermentation]

Reviving an old thread as I couldn't find a newer one and have recently acquired a dog. I'm looking for somewhere local for a work lunch but generally would be good to know what establishments since this thread was originally posted are OK with dogs. Franklins looks like a yes, what about the Palmerston which has changed management/ownership? 

Thanks in advance for doggy intel!

Split this into a new 2024 topic. The posts in the old thread were from 2016 and now factually incorrect.

My dog has been in Cafe G..........no issues. 

All pubs except dogs.........Maria's tortilla accepted my dog too.......

Oddly Superdrug doesn't...........

Leave your dog at home, please. It’s not going to enjoy it, at best it’ll endure it. If you’re blind, then of course bring your dog to the pub/cafe/office and expect lots of good wishes and respect, maybe even a treat for Rover, but if not, please don’t (or sit outside). Not everyone likes dogs and some are thoroughly frightened or allergic and to ignore this is solipsistic and self-centered. (I like dogs a lot but only in the home or the park.)

The Signal in Forest Hill is lovely

ED is super dog friendly in my experience. All the pubs are dog friendly, as is Brunos and Drop wine bar, plus Oru and pretty much all the coffee shops. In terms of restaurants nearby(ish), Peckham Cellars and Kudu are both super welcoming to dogs. It's great to take your dog out with you for drinks/food as it really helps to socialise them, plus it really adds to the atmosphere in some places. Enjoy!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the wonderful Gowlett so far.  Very dog friendly and usually a water bowl out for them.  Our dog loves going there because it means pizza crusts!  

It's good to see that a number of shops are dog friendly too as it is no longer safe/acceptable to leave your dog tied up outside.  It always feels frustrating when you pass a place where you would like to pick up some bread or milk, yet you have to go home with the dog first.  

Very surprised at the comment that dogs are not welcome in other countries as I've not seen this anywhere apart from places that have an issue with strays, which is a completely different matter.  Dogs paws have walked on exactly the same streets as people's shoes, so why do they present a hygiene issue?

Hygiene? Having watched dogs sitting on pub table and then wiping their bums on them as they squirm along, i don't think many humans behave like this.

Thanks for all the tips. I don't drink anymore so am very rarely in pubs but it's good to know where I can take him with me when I'm doing errands. He is usually fine tied up outside a shop for a short while anyway. Once he's used to staying home alone, I won't need to take him everywhere with me. As he's a rescue racing dog, he's glued to my side as he's convinced I'll leave him and not come back.

London Fermentation, just to say, please don't leave your dog tied up outside a shop, so many are stolen. 😥

I really think that this thread should be started afresh as many of the previous places have closed down.  

[Administrator]

Agree. I've just split this year's posts into a new 2024 topic.

Bumping this up as I’ll be visiting my mum in Dulwich with the dog in tow and I am looking for some dog friendly places locally that serves coffee and fries please. Thank you.

Still Pretty much everywhere 

[Froglander]

Most, if not all pubs, are.  You could always call in advance.
