DOG FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS AND CAFES
Bright Brewery
The Bright Brewery is one of the best places in town to take your dog. They have a large grassy beer garden with wooden tables you can attach your dogs lead to. They are so dog friendly they have their own dedicated Instagram account Doggos of Bright Brewery.
River Deck Kitchen
The Riverdeck Kitchen is a dog friendly breakfast and lunch cafe in Bright. Dogs are welcome on their large outdoor deck which has nice views down towards the park and river. They are also a great spot for takeaway coffee to go for a walk along the river (though takeaway was limited last time I visited, hopefully with less covid restrictions its back to normal)!
