Flock and Herd are quite accommodating with bones.

The French House & The Crooked Well are both very dog friendly.

Why not? Dogs aren't dirty, and I'd much rather eat or drink in a place that had dogs in than be disturbed by someones unruly or screaming toddler

[tiddles]

And they are usually just sitting on the floor - whats the problem. I totally get why they cannot go into a butchers?..

The dog and I go out locally and find lots of places are dog friendly. In fact, we find that any place considered 'child friendly' tends to be dog friendly too. Here are some suggestions slightly further afield than East Dulwich for eating/drinking but that means the dog gets a better walk!!!

We've just had breakfast this morning at the Brockwell Lido cafe- you have to sit outside on the terrace (but that's the best spot anyhow). We love Belair house (now its under new management) and dogs are welcome in the bar and you can order off the restaurant menu as well as the bar menu. My dog is always made a fuss of and has even been welcome on jazz night whilst I enjoy the odd cocktail...

The Rosendale (West Dulwich) allows dogs in the bar, the Paxton has an area for dogs, and the Florence also dog friendly (and all are good for eating).

My husband and I often take our dog away for weekends and we find the 'posher' the hotel- the more dog friendly and that works well for me!!!

[SearchDog]

And the Clockhouse is dog friendly- you have to sit in the front part but they bring a dog bowl and often biscuits!!!!

[edcam]

Just resurrecting this thread. Now being owners of a lovely (and well behaved) dog, we're keen to hear about dog-friendly places in ED and Camberwell. We were regulars at The Crooked Well anyway and they welcome dogs. The Camberwell Arms allow dogs in the bar but not the restaurant.

Does anyone have any tips/updates on the above on pubs and restaurants in the area that are dog friendly. More and more places seem fine about this these days but would be great to know how things are locally.

Thanks in anticipation.

I know the Cherry Tree positively encourages them (I think the owners said on here somewhere, limit thirty per customer) and as someone who'd love a dog but hasn't enough garden I love seeing them there!

That's good to know, thanks!

The Ivy House welcomes dogs at all times, and has a sign up to say so.

There are usually several dogs around the place, in fact sometimes you have to be careful you don't trip over them :)

It's probably because people go in there after walking the dog on the Rye or in the park, as it's just round the corner.

Just been birthday shopping for a friend this afternoon, all up and down Lordship lane and Northcross Road gift shops and our 2 small dogs were welcomed with lots of pets and attention and allowed in everywhere except for the kitchen shop, which was to be anticipated, being foodie focused!

ED

Mrs Robinson

Eco Shop

A J Farmers

Oliver Bonas

Rye Books

Roullier White

New Crafty Shop

Fashion Conscience

Shop Next To Brick House Bakery

Barclays. . .

I'm often surprised to find dogs welcomed in most places other than supermarkets and some restaurants. If I'm heading to a specific destination and I'm in doubt, I just call ahead and ask.

Other dog friendly places:

Romeo Jones Dulwich Village

The Prince Regent Herne Hill

Blue Brick Cafe ED

The Cambria Pub in Camberwell

Brixton Covered Market (always surprised by this one & start sweating a bit when security guards pass but no prob!?!)

Canopy Beer Tap Room Herne Hill

Lowie Herne Hill

The Great Exhibition ED

And non dog friendly finds:

Kew Gardens (a shame to visit a park without dogs, though understandable :) !)

Gails Dulwich Village (only allowed outside)

The Lido Cafe (was initially dog friendly inside as well, very convenient being in Brockwell park but now dogs are only allowed outside, although they have been friendly to and fine with my dogs waiting inside with me while I grab take away coffees :) !)

Brockwell Park Cafe

[KidKruger]

Post Office don't allow dogs.

Cashier who told me waited 20mins until I was at front of queue to tell me she wouldn't serve me.

Luckily a customer held the rabid, thrashing hound for me outside until my 2min transaction was over.

Can you speak for all dogs?

I'm in two minds on the dog thing - I'm not sure about restaurants. Pubs probably its expected, restaurants maybe not so.

[siousxiesue]

Forest hill (sorry) has a caf? called Archie Parker-named after the owner's dog. He sometimes makes a guest appearance and the place is dog friendly with super coffee!

[edcam]

Thanks so far folks. Keep them coming! I'm particularly interested in pubs and restaurants that are dog friendly.

On one of the extremely few times I have ever been to The Bishop, and some years back, my partner and I were turfed out of our seats on the grounds that one was reserved for the owner's dog (no notice to that effect, of course).

So I presume The Bishop must be dog friendly ......

ETA: It was a seat near the window. Maybe the dog liked looking out of the window.

Or maybe he wanted people to look in at him as he sat in ...... trendy ..... blow-ins ....... etc etc etc

ETA: Oh! Apparently bl#w-ins is considered a rude word on here :))

I don't get that at all..

I was a regular at The Bishop. Clarance (The Dog)would try and squeeze in on his favorite window seat

But when Scott came in and called the dog he would jump down. He was docile .. well behaved and was loved by most people. Clarence never pesterd diners for food. A gentle shove and he would get down..

Who turfed you out.. ?

The corner window tables were reservable an on occasion Scott sometimes resrved them for staff gatherings . but mostly

Scott and his crew assembled at the far end of the bar central raised area.

One of the bar staff.

He definitely said the seat was required for the dog.

We thought it very strange. As you would :))

If you want to go on a slightly longer walk to Peckham then The Pelican, Prince Albert, Montpellier and Victoria are all dog friendly and do food.

At Dulwich Hamlet v Worthing last Saturday 3, 4 maybe more spectators were accompanied by their dogs. Next time I go I may have to bring Harvey, he loves football.
