WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

An independent licensed coffee house in a grade II listed building of 1575 on Stricklandgate, named after the nineteenth-century brush works that used the site, with the carved bristly hog still above the door. Its own site describes it as a dog friendly cafe, downstairs only, so the upstairs rooms are out with a dog. All-day breakfasts, main meals and afternoon teas, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and coffee from Rinaldo's and Pennington's. Open nine to half past four Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays, which catches people out at weekends.

THE SMALL PRINTThe cafe publishes itself as a "Dog Friendly Café (downstairs only)", so dogs cannot go up to the first floor rooms.
