That trendy brunch spot in Shoreditch? Their Instagram says "dog-friendly" but they mean "only on the freezing pavement outside"
It's drizzling (again), and you're stuck outside Borough Market whilst everyone else enjoys their coffee indoors
"Hi, I saw online you're dog-friendly?" "Well... service dogs only actually..." Another Saturday plan ruined

"The Blackfriar in Blackfriars actually brought my Frenchie a blanket! Found it on BarkLife after being turned away from two other 'dog-friendly' pubs."
– Sarah & Winston, EC4
"Finally, reliable Hackney coffee shops for rainy walks. Mare Street has loads of cafés, but BarkLife showed me which ones actually let muddy spaniels inside."
– James & Mochi, E8
"No more awkward Clapham brunch rejections. That horrible feeling when everyone's staring as you're asked to leave? Gone."
– Emma & Bear, SW11
Google shows if dogs are "allowed" - we show if they're actually welcomed. Big difference between "dogs permitted on the pavement" and "staff gave my pup treats whilst I enjoyed my flat white inside."
