Carlisle · 2 checked & stamped
Lunch with the dog under the table, not tied to a post outside. Where Carlisle says yes indoors, we say so — and where it is the terrace only, we say that too.
The all-day cafe and bar at the front of the Halston on Warwick Road, a couple of minutes from the station and the citadel. Dogs are allowed in here with their owners, which is useful because the Halston's other room, the Penny Blue restaurant, is stated to be for humans only. Leads are required anywhere in the hotel's public areas and grounds. If you are staying, dogs cannot be left in the apartment unaccompanied, so Bartons Yard is where the dog goes while you eat.
The cathedral's cafe occupies the restored Fratry building in the precinct off Castle Street, with seating on the ground floor, upstairs in the Fratry Hall, down in the medieval Undercroft and outside in the close. Dogs are allowed in the Fratry Hall, the Undercroft and the outside seating, but not on the ground floor, so ask which room you are being shown to before you sit down. It is a short lead throughout and one dog per adult, the same rule as the cathedral itself. A water bowl is kept opposite the main cathedral door a few yards away.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
