The Five Alls pub near Lechlade in Gloucestershire and the Catherine Wheel in Goring-on-Thames, Berkshire, aim to have their canine visitors howling with delight at their Dog's Dinner menu, which provides a choice between dishes such as the delectable sounding Liver & Garden Veg chunks in gravy or Chicken & Beef chunks in jelly.
Owners wanting to give their pets a treat can pick from the Special Fayre menu, where Omega-3 packed salmon chunks will apparently see doggy diners leaving the pub with a "healthy coat and skin".
The doggy menus will be on display outside the pub and behind the bar, with the idea that dog walkers will treat their pets at the same time as ordering their own pub meal. "Now dog owners can sit down to lunch happy in the knowledge their dog is enjoying their meal as much as they are," said Caroline Coombs at Butcher's Pet Care, the company providing the doggy meals.
If the free trial at the two Brakspear pubs is successful, the menus could be rolled out across the chain's other dog friendly pubs, said Brakspear's Tom Davies. "Many of our pubs are located near popular walking routes and attract customers out to enjoy the countryside with their four-legged companions," he said.
Howard Leatherdale's dog Chyb is – along with his owner – a regular at the Five Alls. "Chyb's verdict? More tins please," said Leatherdale. "It didn't stop him staring forlornly at his empty bowl when I got him home though."
