Pub in UK offers special menu for dogs

Not only are dogs welcome at one chain of pubs, they are now being offered a special canine menu. This is a move which could be very welcome to both dogs and their owners out for a walk.

Butcher's Pet Care has partnered with gastropub chain Brakspear to offer pub lunches for dogs. The menu is currently being offered at the Five Alls near Lechlade, Gloucestershire and the Catherine Wheel in Goring-on-Thames. If it is successful it could soon be available across the UK. “If the menus are a success in the trial pubs, Brakspear would be happy to consider rolling this out across our other dog-friendly pubs,” The Telegraph reported Brakspear's commercial director Tom Davies as saying. “Many of our pubs are located near popular walking routes and attract customers to enjoy the countryside with their four-legged companions.” Kennel Club Secretary Caroline Kisko said that dogs are part of the family, so they are delighted to hear that more pubs are offering cuisine specifically created for them. “It is well known that dogs improve the atmosphere of a place so it makes sense that businesses go that extra mile to make dogs and their owners feel welcome in their premises,” she said. The menus include liver and garden vegetable chunks in gravy and chicken and beef chunks in jelly. Caroline Coombs, brand manager at Butcher's Pet Care, said that the recipes contain all of the vitamins and minerals a dog needs.
