Newton Court had to be number 1 in our list of top 5 dog friendly cafés in Herefordshire as it is our go-to place for team meetings with all of our dogs too! The café is spacious, allowing ample room to sit away from other tables and distractions, if desired. Dogs are allowed both inside and outside, so it a perfect year round spot. The menu offers some lovely, healthy options and cater for visitors between 9am - 4:30pm 7 days a week.
To find the café, hop in the car and drive just 5 minutes outside of Leominster, on the old Hereford Road, going south towards Hereford and look out for it just before the little bridge and the veterinary eye clinic.

The Bookshop in Hereford is last, but by no means least, in our top 5 dog friendly cafes in Herefordshire. Situated in Hereford city, but on a little back road which makes it a quieter spot to enjoy some R&R with a tasty lunch. When you walk into the Bookshop, it opens out into a spacious dining area with further seating outside. They say "well-behaved dogs are welcome in our bar-restaurant area (high tables) and our heated patio area, just not in our main restaurant area". Open 7 days a week, but opening times vary, so check timings before heading out.
