Finding a dog-friendly place to eat and drink can sometimes be a challenge, so we have built this section from my own research with the dog in tow. This includes Gloucestershire restaurants, pubs, cafes and other eateries.
Some establishments allow canine guests inside others just in outdoor areas and finally some embrace the concept and have treats and water bowls for dogs.

The fleece is perfect for outdoor eating on their terrace or more formal sit down meal inside the nicely decorated bar or dining area.
