I like a coffe and a bit of cake after walking the dogs. I don't want to leave the dogs in the car, and I don't want a great treck form a car park, so there aren't many coffee shops I've found around Newbury that suit. If I'm in town then the warf building is my favourite but I resent paying to park so mostly that's not an option. There's great walking all around Newbury but no great coffee shops convenient for those walks that I've found. Do you have any recommendations?

If the Wharf building allows dogs inside (I'm surprised at that actually), then why not park in Sainsbury's car park for the short while you are there? It's not very far to walk!

It's not very far to walk! We don't go in, we just sit outside with the swans. You're right, Sainsbury's car park is an option. Sainsbury's restaurant is also quite good and you get to read the papers free too, but then the dogs have to stay in the car. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

You could have a coffee in victoria park at the little cafe, or you could go to thatcham lakes at lower way, they are nice walks there with a dog and they have a nice coffee shop that also sell cakes and all kinds, also the parking is free.

I'd forgotten about Thatcham Lakes, I'll try that out, thanks. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

A bit far and not a coffee shop but I could highly recommend a pub called The Pot Kiln up at Frilsham.
Dog's are welcome in the garden and the bar area. Awesome walks up there. Visit Pot Kiln Website |

I don't know a coffee shop that is happy with dogs inside - but you can get a coffee at the LSB. They have the papers and like dogs.

Cheers Ozzy, I haven't been to Frilsham but I've found a walk from that pub which looks lovely.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear: we always sit outside. Excuse my ignorance, but what's LSB? -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

Have you read Stan Greens letter in the NWN? He has the answer to your problem. He says you shouldn't have a dog!

No. But animals aren't allowed in food preparation areas, unless they're dead and skinned! What does make me laugh is that people think guide dogs are somehow cleaner thn other dogs. Also kids are filthy and they get to go everywhere! |
