There's sausage and chicken and rice to eat and the drinks come in bowls at a new cafe that's geared towards dogs. Dog & Bean has opened in Beeston, with coffee, training tips and plenty of puppy-dog eyes and waggy tails.
Canines of all shapes, sizes and breeds are welcome at the town's first dedicated dog cafe - and they're allowed to sit on the sofa. Dog-loving friends Dee Midnight and Kate Keen launched the cafe after their plans for an indoor and outdoor dog park in 2019 didn't materialise just before the Covid outbreak - and they're relieved it didn't under the circumstances.
Instead they transformed a former fireplace shop, in Chilwell Road, into the dog-friendly venue, where pooches and owners can both have a treat. One of the first customers was Sue Spencer and Jack, a chihuahua and Jack Russell cross, taking a breather from their daily walk to Beeston from Dunkirk.
