Dog-friendly restaurants & cafés.

A vegetarian cafe and soup kitchen in Berrys Yard off Kendal Highgate, walk-ins only and consistently busy at lunchtime. It lists itself as dog friendly, and take-away is available if the tables have gone.

Scandinavian cafe on Oxford Street famed for cinnamon buns, skillingsboller and open sandwiches. Dogs are welcome inside and out during the daytime and staff make a genuine fuss of them; a civilised alternative to the town's no-dogs tearooms.

Selby's branch of the Lounges, all mismatched armchairs and all-day food, a minute from the Abbey at Market Cross. Dogs are welcome inside and there are treats for four-legged visitors at the counter. Open from breakfast through to the evening, which makes it a dependable default.

Bayview Coffee House is a place to eat on Foreshore Road, Scarborough. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.

Cafe and restaurant on the sand at Mudeford, with a beach bar and tables facing Christchurch Bay. Dogs are very welcome, water bowls are ready for them and the beach bar sells doggie donuts. A natural stop on a walk out to the Head or the sandbank.

Café, bar and kitchen sitting directly on Swanpool beach with the coast path running past the door. Dogs are welcome everywhere at Beach House, including the upstairs Top Bar, which the owners describe as completely dog-friendly. Note that Swanpool itself bans dogs 10am to 6pm through July and August.

Beckett's is a place to eat on Skinner Street, Whitby. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.

A burger and beer bar at 2 Excelsior Court off the top of Conisbrough, opened in 2022 in a former gift shop and open Thursday to Sunday evenings only, with food cooked to order and keg beer rather than cask. It is a single level-access room with terrace seating outside, small enough that a dog is at your feet rather than in a separate area. Conisbrough station and the walk down to the castle are both within a few hundred metres if you want to tire a dog out first. It is listed as dog friendly on CAMRA's WhatPub, surveyed in April 2026; that is the database's record rather than the bar's own statement.

Belly Rub is a place to eat on Victoria Road, Scarborough. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.

Bloom is a place to eat on Falsgrave Road, Scarborough. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.

Cafe bar on Matlock's Dale Road, locally sourced food by day and Titanic beers by evening. The house line is a very warm welcome for all, particularly dogs who bring their owners, which is about as clear as it gets. Five minutes from Hall Leys Park and the Derwent path.

A small independent cafe on the southern side of Thirsk Market Place, doing coffee, cake and cooked breakfasts from mid-morning. It is listed as dog friendly, so dogs are welcome inside with you. Closed on Mondays.

A family-run shellfish shack and restaurant on the beach road at Beesands, selling crab, lobster and fish landed a few hundred yards away. Well-behaved dogs are part of the welcome, and the setting means a wet dog is nobody's crisis.

A street-food style cafe in Ripon Spa Gardens serving all-day breakfast and light bites among the bandstand and borders. It is properly set up for dogs, with its own dog menu, treats and water bowls, and tables outside on the grass.

A small independent cafe on Queen Street just off the market square, doing fresh, unfussy food and a hearty welcome. Visit Ripon lists it as dog friendly, so your dog can come in out of the rain with you.

A small speciality coffee bar in Leyburn turning out artisan coffee and cakes, described by the regional tourist board as a dog-friendly gem. Dogs come inside with you rather than being tied up on the pavement. A good first stop before the walk out along the Leyburn Shawl.

A small High Street cafe built around an extraordinary range of hot chocolates, with cakes to match. It is dog friendly, which is worth knowing because a good number of Pateley's shops are not, and it sits halfway up the hill for a breather.

A small independent coffee house in the middle of Grassington doing breakfasts, proper hot drinks and cakes. Listed by the regional tourist board as a dog-friendly cafe, so dogs may come in with you rather than waiting outside. A useful first stop before the walk down to the river.

An independent coffee shop in Unit 8 of the Onyx Retail Park on Harris Hawk Way, on the Manvers side of Wath upon Dearne, so it is the nearest proper coffee to the Manvers Lake circuit and the Trans Pennine Trail as it runs round the water. It is a modern unit with hard floors and plenty of room between tables rather than a cramped high street shop, and the parking outside is free and level. Their own website says it is great if you are passing while out walking the dog and that the dog can take on some fresh water while you have your own drink, so a bowl is offered without asking.

An independent coffee shop on Millgate, a few steps off Thirsk Market Place, known for fresh food and properly made coffee. Thirsk Tourist Information records it as dogs welcome, so yours sits with you inside rather than at a pavement table. Daytime only, closing mid-afternoon.

Relaxed cafe at the Aysgarth Falls National Park Centre, right beside the main car park for the waterfalls. Dog friendly inside as well as at the outdoor tables, with friendly staff known to fetch fresh water for visiting dogs. Soups, scones and home-made gelato make it the natural end to the falls walk.

A farm cafe in Buttermere village with its own paid car park, a few yards from the start of the lake circuit and the Rannerdale path. Its own site says the cafe is dog friendly, and there is a dog seating area indoors rather than a bench outside the door, which is the difference between a usable stop and a wet one in this valley. The parking charge includes use of the toilets, and the car park is a useful backup when the National Trust one is full.

Sheffield's original food hall, in a converted cutlery works on Neepsend Lane at the Kelham Island end of the valley, with independent kitchens ranged round a hard-floored industrial hall and a long bar. The venue's own FAQ answers the dog question directly: well-behaved dogs are always welcome, though no other pets are. Floors are concrete and polished timber and the tables are communal benches, so a dog sits at your feet rather than under a snug seat, and it gets loud at weekends. Useful at the end of the Five Weirs Walk or a Kelham Island circuit, and open from nine in the morning seven days.

A tea garden on a working hill farm at the very head of Rosedale, reached up the dale road from Rosedale Abbey, with homemade cakes, loose-leaf teas and sausage rolls served against a sweeping valley panorama. Well-behaved dogs are more than welcome in the garden. Arguably the most peaceful cuppa in the National Park, and handy for the ironstone railway trackbed above.

Cyclists' cafe and cakery at Fremington, a five-minute walk from Reeth across the Swale. The cafe is dog friendly and people friendly, with upwards of twenty-five home-baked cakes on display most days and seating inside, in the courtyard or on the lawn. Open daily; note dogs cannot stay in the accommodation pods.

Cafe bar in the old motor house tower at the end of Skeldergate Bridge, with a covered, heated river terrace looking along the Ouse. Dogs are welcome across its quirky rooms and on the terrace. Toasties, paninis and tapas in a prime position at the city end of the New Walk riverside loop.

Relaxed independent cafe at 2 Westgate in Tadcaster's brewery town centre, listed as a dog friendly cafe. It makes a civilised stop for coffee and cake after a wander along the Wharfe weir and viaduct. Tadcaster's most reliable option for refreshments with the dog in tow.

A Loungers cafe bar at 3 The Glass Works on Barnsley's rebuilt town square, open from nine in the morning until late, doing all-day food with long vegan and gluten free menus. It is a big, deliberately mismatched room of sofas, rugs and armchairs rather than tight cafe tables, so there is genuinely floor space for a dog, and it has level access straight off the square. Useful as a wet-weather stop in the middle of town between the market and the interchange. Loungers lists the site as dog friendly on its own website.

A working-farm coffee shop at Little Ayton, signposted off Great Ayton high street, serving breakfasts, sandwiches, home baking and Sunday lunch until half past three. Its own site says dogs are most welcome both inside and outside the coffee shop, which is unusually plain wording for a food business, and there is a decked balcony and tables by the stream as well as the indoor room with its log burner. Free parking in the main and overflow car parks means it works as the start or end of a walk rather than somewhere you have to leave the dog in the car.

A small family-run coffee shop on Main Street in Willerby, open Wednesday to Friday from 10am and Saturday from 9am, doing breakfast, brunch, lunch, cakes and a rotating specials board with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Its own site says: "We are dog-friendly and will welcome your furry friends with water and treats." There is no area or time restriction attached to that, and they keep a notice board of regulars' dogs. Willerby is one of the Haltemprice villages and falls under East Riding of Yorkshire Council rather than Hull City Council, despite the Hull postal address.

A tearoom by the bridge at Pooley Bridge with a garden room over the River Eamont and home baking that justifies the queue. Dogs are welcome in all their spaces, and they cater for most diets besides.

Old Midland Railway station a mile north of Bakewell, now a cafe, bookshop and the main cycle hire for the Monsal Trail. The cafe says dogs are always welcome, and the trailside terrace is the sensible spot when the trail is busy with bikes. There is accommodation on site, though the bedroom dog policy is not published.

A small family-run tea room in steam-railway Grosmont, famous for its fresh scones, light lunches and the house-invented Grosmont Tart. Dogs are welcomed both inside and out - you and your dog are assured a warm reception in the conservatory overlooking the garden, or on the terraced garden itself on fine days. Open daily from Easter to October, perfectly timed for the Rail Trail from Goathland.

A family-run cafe and bistro on Yewdale Road in the middle of Coniston, using Herdwick lamb and beef from Yew Tree Farm up the valley. Its own site is explicit that the welcome is indoors: water down, a warm room, frozen pup cups in the freezer and a dog wall of fame on the wall, with picnic benches outside under the fell for dry days. That warm room matters on this side of the valley, where the Old Man throws weather down onto the village all afternoon. Open every day, 9am to 5pm.

A health-leaning coffee shop in the Highfield Icon Building on Balby Carr Bank, on the business park south of Doncaster town centre, open from seven in the morning on weekdays for breakfasts, bowls and jacket potatoes. Its own site says plainly that the coffee shop is dog friendly and points out that the surrounding area has good trails to explore with a dog, which is fair: the flat carr land and cycle paths start straight outside the door. It is a modern open room with hard floors and plenty of table space, so a wet dog after a morning out is not a problem. Parking is on site rather than on street.

Long-running seafood cafe on the shingle at Hive Beach under the golden sandstone cliffs, crab and lobster eaten at outdoor tables. Dogs are welcome and there is a dog menu, with handmade biscuits baked in their own bakery. Get there early in summer.

A coffee house at 22 Market Street in the centre of Penistone, the second shop of a Holmfirth business, open nine to four every day for breakfast, brunch, buddha bowls and locally roasted coffee. It is a proper sit-down room with table service rather than a takeaway counter, and it is a couple of hundred yards from the Trans Pennine Trail car park behind the market. Their own website says they love pooches and even keep a dog menu for them to sample, so a dog gets fed as well as watered here.

Stylish speciality coffee shop and brunch spot on Royal Parade with a London feel and locally sourced menus. Dogs are welcomed inside with water bowls and treats; it is compact and popular, so booking and mentioning the dog is sensible.

A cafe on Field Side in Thorne sitting right on the water at The Delves, the old clay pit turned lake and park that is the town's main dog walk, so you can do a lap of the lake and eat looking back over it. Its own Facebook page says breakfast, lunch and dinner are served all day and that they are dog friendly, with no rooms or areas fenced off. Seating faces the lake and there are tables outside, which is the sensible choice with a muddy dog after a circuit of the Delves paths. The welcome is published on the cafe's own Facebook page rather than a website.

A back-lane fish and chip shop in Sowerby, a village that has effectively become Thirsk's southern suburb but keeps its own character. Thirsk Tourist Information notes the house rule that dogs always get a free sausage, which tells you everything about the welcome. Eat them on the green or take them down to Sowerby Flatts.

A cycling cafe at the North End of Bedale, geared to riders coming off the Dales lanes but happy to feed anyone who walks in. It is listed as dog friendly, and dogs are welcome inside alongside the bikes. Coffee, cake and a bike workshop under one roof.

A deli-cafe on the Market Place in Yorkshire's self-styled food capital, serving proper coffee, generous sandwiches and cakes from the county's best producers. Dogs are genuinely welcome inside, and the team have been known to slip well-mannered visitors a treat from the deli counter. A civilised refuel after a browse round Talbot Yard's food makers.

The restaurant at Windermere Marina Village, south of Bowness past Ferry Nab, looking out over the moorings. Its own page states that there are "spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas where dogs are welcome", with fresh water bowls and complimentary dog treats, and it makes a point of taking muddy paws. Because it is inside as well as out, it is one of the few options round Bowness that still works in weather. The walk in along Ferry Nab Road is a dogs-on-leads area under the council's order.

The largest of the three Marmadukes cafes, at 42 Cambridge Street between the Moor and Devonshire Green, in one of the old buildings kept when the Heart of the City blocks went up around it. The company's own FAQ says you are welcome to bring your pooches inside all of their cafes, asking only that dogs are kept under control and that you are considerate of other customers. It is walk-ins only over two floors, and the ground floor has the wider gaps between tables, which is the half to aim for with a bigger dog. Devonshire Green is the nearest grass, three minutes up Carver Street.

The original Marmadukes, opened in 2012 at 22 Norfolk Row opposite St Marie's Cathedral and a minute from the Crucible and the Lyceum. Its own FAQ says they love dogs and that you are welcome to bring your pooches inside all of their cafes, asking only that they are kept under control and that you are considerate of other customers. Inside it is a narrow two-floor room of tightly packed tables, so a small dog tucks under easily and a large one wants the front window seats. The Peace Gardens and the Winter Garden are both two minutes away for a stretch before or after.

Marmadukes' bakery and cafe at 846 Ecclesall Road in Banner Cross, in the converted sorting office that supplies bread to their other two sites. The same company FAQ that covers the city-centre cafes says dogs are welcome inside all of them, under control and with consideration for other customers. The room is a wide converted hall with hard floors and space between the tables, which makes it the easiest of the three for a large or wet dog. Bingham Park and the Porter Valley woods are a short walk north up Rustlings Road, and Endcliffe Park is ten minutes back down the hill.

An all-day cafe and evening bistro on Keswick main street, artisan coffee and cake by day, a globally minded menu after dark. It describes itself as a relaxed dog-friendly space, so wet dogs and hungry hikers are treated as the normal trade rather than an inconvenience.

The cafe in the main courtyard at Worsbrough Mill Country Park, next to the shop and visitor centre, serving coffee, pizzas, sandwiches, cakes and ice creams from 9.30am to 4pm daily. Barnsley Museums states it is dog friendly and that water bowls are provided, and there is seating both inside and out, so it works in the rain after a lap of the reservoir. The shop and visitor centre open Thursday to Sunday, 10am to 3pm. No dog of any kind, including an assistance dog, may go into the mill building itself because it is a food production area.

Café on the Bodmin Jail site, open to anyone without a museum ticket and pitched squarely at dog walkers coming off the moor. Dogs are welcome in the café and the courtyard around it. Straightforward local food and a proper coffee before or after Cardinham.

All-day cafe-bar off the market place, mismatched furniture and a long menu, open from breakfast to late. Dog friendly, and one of the few doors in central Hexham that says so outright. Useful for a rainy afternoon between the abbey and the car park.

Small family-run coffee and gift shop on Bedale's market place where, in their own words, fluffy friends are always welcome. Good coffee, cakes and light bites with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Closed Wednesdays and Sundays, with early afternoon closing on other days.

A restaurant by the bridge at the foot of Bedale, close to the beck and the old railway line that gives it its name. It is listed as dog friendly, so dogs are allowed in rather than left tied up outside. Evenings and weekends rather than every day.

An independent North Street cafe known for robust coffee and loose-leaf tea, with cakes made on the premises. Visit Ripon lists it among the city's dog-friendly places and dogs are welcome inside.

The independently run cafe at Danby Lodge, the North York Moors National Park's flagship visitor centre in the Esk Valley. The cafe itself is dog friendly with indoor and garden seating, and dogs on leads are welcome in the surrounding riverside grounds, though not in the centre's exhibition buildings or Crow Wood. Open daily from 10am to 4pm, with staff happy to suggest dog walks from the door.

Design-led, family-run cafe-restaurant at 112 Micklegate serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea amid rotating local art. Dogs are welcome indoors, and the woodsy, unhurried room is calm enough for nervier hounds. One of the city's best seasonal menus on the dog-friendly circuit.

A small daytime cafe at the Millgate end of Thirsk town centre, opening from eight for breakfast and light lunches. It is listed as dog friendly, so dogs are allowed in with you rather than left outside. Handy if you have parked at the Millgate end of town.

A monthly street food market in a converted warehouse and courtyard at 92 Burton Road in Neepsend, running the first weekend of each month except January, Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Rotating street food traders, a craft beer bar with Neepsend Blonde on cask, maker stalls and live music, all under a warehouse roof with a yard outside. It charges entry at all times, and it is loud and crowded, so it suits a settled dog rather than a nervous one. Dog friendly per CAMRA's WhatPub survey of 3 July 2025, not the market's own words.

A sandwich shop and cafe in the Old Post Office building on Thirsk Market Place, opening early for breakfast and closing mid-afternoon. Thirsk Tourist Information gives the dog policy as on a lead, meaning dogs come inside so long as they stay tethered to you. Good for filling a rucksack before a Hambleton walk.

The park cafe on Rivelin Valley Road, beside the paddling pool, play area and roadside car park partway along the Rivelin Valley Trail, which makes it the natural stop at either end of a Rivelin walk. Its own Facebook page opens with "Great food, freshly ground barista coffee, homemade cakes, dogs welcome!" and a July 2026 post from the cafe adds that it is dog friendly and offers dog treats and dog ice creams to walkers coming through the park. Seating is a simple hard-floored room plus a run of outdoor tables under the trees, which is where most people with wet dogs end up. Open daily through the middle of the day.

A bright cafe by the bridge at Chollerford, five minutes from Chesters and on the Hadrian's Wall bus route. Well-behaved dogs are welcomed inside as well as out, which is not the norm in cafes on this stretch. Breakfasts, sandwiches and cake, with tables by the North Tyne.

An all-day cafe bar on Steelman's Walk in the middle of Workington, open from nine in the morning until eleven at night and midnight at weekends. The operator's own site lists the site as dog friendly without restricting it to one area, which makes it the most reliable indoor stop in the town for anyone walking a dog. Food runs all day, from breakfast through burgers, mezze bowls and toasties, and there is table service so you are not leaving a dog to queue at a counter.

Cafe, bar and bistro in a 1480s almshouse just off Knaresborough's ancient market square, and winner of Bar of the Year at the Harrogate Hospitality Awards. The team describe themselves as very dog friendly, and the historic beamed rooms are a characterful lunch stop between the castle and the riverside.

An early-opening coffee house on South Parade at the quieter end of Northallerton, doing proper coffee and breakfast from seven in the morning. It is listed as dog friendly, so dogs come inside with you. A good first stop before walking the Applegarth.

All-day independent on Oxford Street that moves from Dark Woods coffee and brunch to Neapolitan pizza and sixteen craft beer lines by evening. Dog friendly throughout, with a relaxed room that suits a snoozing hound under the table; strong vegan and gluten-free options too.

A North Street kitchen cooking locally sourced and foraged food, from breakfast plates to proper evening cooking. Visit Ripon lists it as dog friendly, so a well-behaved dog can come in and lie under the table.

The cafe at the Sutton Bank National Park Centre, perched on the escarpment above what James Herriot called the finest view in England. Dogs are welcome at the cafe (currently trading as The Truffled Hog), and there is plenty of outdoor seating for muddy-pawed parties fresh off the White Horse or Cleveland Way paths. Bike hire and a National Park shop share the site.

A plain, friendly cafe on the eastern side of Thirsk Market Place serving tea, toasties and cooked breakfasts to shoppers and market traders. It is listed as dog friendly and dogs are allowed inside. Unfussy and cheap, which is rather the point.

An independent cafe on Easingwold's Market Place doing breakfast, brunch and lunch, with a walled courtyard garden at the back. Dogs are welcome both indoors and out among the flowers in the courtyard. A good first stop before the lanes out to Crayke and Brandsby.

A farm cafe on the shore at Beal with the best free view of Holy Island in the county, plus a campsite behind it. Dogs are welcome, and the outside tables look straight across the mud flats to the causeway. Good coffee and cake while you wait for the tide to drop.

The Bowness sister of the Coniston cafe, on Glebe Road right on the lake front between the piers and Cockshott Point. The company's own site states the Bowness policy without qualification as "Dogs welcome", where the Coniston entry on the same page limits dogs to the terrace, so this is the more useful of the two if the weather has turned. It opens 9.30am to 4.30pm daily with hot food until 4pm. It sits directly on the Glebe, which is the promenade section where the council's dogs order requires a lead.

The lakeside cafe at the Manvers Lake and Dearne Valley Trust boathouse on Station Road, looking out over the water and the sailing club. The Trust lists it as dog friendly and, importantly, says the same of the indoor seating area, which is the difference between a summer stop and a year-round one. It opens Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm and at weekends from 8.30am to 3pm, with longer hours in summer, and there are toilets, baby changing, an accessible toilet, EV charging and public wifi. Parking is by suggested donation in the main car park at the door.

A long-standing tearoom and restaurant in Portinscale, the village across the Derwent from Keswick reached by the suspension footbridge and on the way to the Hawes End and Catbells lanes. It is open all year, has its own car park, and its website states that it is dog friendly and that ramblers and their dogs are welcome. The site does not break that down by indoor and outdoor seating, so ask on the door if the weather is against you.

Home-baked scones and pots of tea in an old stone house a hundred yards from the castle gate. Dogs are always welcome, and in decent weather the courtyard patio garden at the back is the spot to aim for. Expect a queue at half past three in August.

A sheltered courtyard cafe off Bedale Market Place doing home-baked scones and sourdough pizzas, and a proper sun trap when the weather obliges. Dogs are welcome and the kitchen keeps dog ice cream for them, which is not a claim many Vale of Mowbray cafes can make. Daytime opening only.

An award-winning cafe and haberdashery on Walkergate, a minute from Saturday Market and a couple from the Butcher Row car park, open nine till four every day but Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The shop's own words could not be clearer: "Dogs are most welcome across all our premises, and we can supply water and treats to keep your canine content." There is a menu for dogs as well as one for people, which is a rare thing this side of the Wolds. It is the obvious warm-up stop before walking out to the Westwood.

The original Depot Bakery, on Burton Road in Neepsend behind the Kelham Island bars, an artisan bakery and kitchen working out of a yard off the road with a courtyard of tables outside. The bakery's own site prints "Dog Friendly" under the Burton Road opening hours. Inside it is a hard-floored bakery room with a counter of pastries and a short brunch menu; it is tight at weekend mid-morning, so the courtyard is the easier spot with a big dog. Weekdays nine until three, weekends nine until four, kitchen until three daily. A sensible turnaround point on a walk along the Don through Kelham.

The restored Grade II listed Coach House in the middle of Hillsborough Park, run as a cafe by Depot Bakery, whose own site prints "Dog Friendly" under the Coach House hours. It is the only proper cafe inside the park, so it catches everybody coming off the walled garden, the boating lake path and the Middlewood Road gate. The building is stone with hard floors and there are tables out on the gravel in front, which is the easier option when the counter queue backs up. Open seven days nine until four, kitchen until three, and it takes reservations.

The cafe at Heeley City Farm on Richards Road, a free-entry working city farm on the slope between Heeley and Meersbrook. The farm's own pages say they love welcoming the whole family including furry friends, and run a Pup Menu of dog-safe snacks with handmade Sheffield treats plus a bowl of water on the house. Dogs must stay on a lead and are asked not to go into the small animal house, since the rabbits and guinea pigs inside are easily frightened; the pigs, goats and sheep in the outdoor pens are fine to walk past. The cafe itself is level and pushchair accessible with plenty of floor space, and Meersbrook Park and the Sheaf Valley path are both a few minutes away.

Independent speciality coffee shop by day and craft beer and cocktail bar by night, with an industrial-chic reclaimed-timber interior and a small courtyard out the back. Dogs are welcome throughout and staff put down water bowls. Excellent toasties, and it sits on York's best food-and-drink street a few doors from the Blue Bell.

A tea room and bakery under the glass canopy on Grange promenade, with a serious loose-leaf tea list and its own bread. The restaurant is openly dog-friendly, which makes it the obvious stop after a walk along the Kent estuary front.

A village cafe at 1,500 feet in one of the highest settlements in England, on Isaac's Tea Trail and welcome after a wet mile of it. Dog friendly, with dog beds and treats supplied. Opening is limited out of season, so check before you commit to the climb.

A family and dog-friendly cafe inside Halls of Ripon on Fishergate, turning out homemade cakes and a straightforward lunch menu. Dogs are welcome in with you, which is rarer than it should be among the city's tea rooms.

A village cafe in a converted joiner's workshop at Ingleby Arncliffe, on the Coast to Coast where it drops off the Cleveland Hills. Dogs are openly welcomed inside and bowls of fresh water and biscuits are kept behind the counter for them.

A cafe built specifically for dog walkers on the edge of Cannon Hall Farm at Cawthorne, sitting outside the farm's paying compound so you can use it without buying farm admission. Dogs are welcome inside, not just at outdoor tables, and there is a separate menu of treats for them; the room seats over 150 after its extension, which is unusual for a dog-friendly cafe of any kind. It opens at 9am daily, serving hot food and drink until 4.30pm, and runs a Wednesday Walkies loyalty group that meets from 9am to 11am for ten per cent off. The Cannon Hall parkland walk starts a few minutes away down Bark House Lane.

A cafe built specifically for dogs on the outskirts of Cannon Hall Farm at Cawthorne, sitting outside the paid farm attraction so you do not need a ticket to use it. Its own page is unambiguous: dogs are welcome inside and there are treats for them. It is the obvious stop after a circuit of Cannon Hall parkland, which is on the other side of Bark House Lane, and it does breakfast and brunch rather than only cake. Note the distinction that matters here: the farm attraction itself takes no dogs at all, only assistance dogs, so this cafe is the whole of the dog offer on the site.

The cafe at Dalegate Market on the coast road at Burnham Deepdale, doing breakfasts, cheese scones and sausage rolls with dressed salad and homemade slaw. Well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome inside. Closed on Tuesdays, and busy in the hour after the tide pushes walkers off the marsh.

A morning cafe at the North End of Bedale, opening at eight and closing early in the afternoon, doing breakfasts and sandwiches for the town. It is listed as dog friendly, so dogs come in with you. Convenient for the Bedale Beck path and the leisure centre car park.

A long-standing tea shop and restaurant on Pateley Bridge High Street doing proper home cooking in generous quantity. Dogs are welcome inside and the kitchen has been known to cook a sausage for a well-behaved one.

Tiny speciality coffee shop packed into the 14th-century Barker Tower on the riverbank beneath Lendal Bridge. It is renowned for being dog friendly, with water and treats for four-legged visitors and homemade cakes from its own bakery for the rest. Seats inside are few; the riverside benches outside catch the morning sun.

A cafe bar on Ferry Lane where the Bishopthorpe path meets the Ouse, set up for people arriving on foot or by bike. Dogs are welcome and there is dog ice cream in several flavours as well as a puppuccino for the greedy. The riverside walk back into York starts at the door.
