Can I recommend Biagio’s please? It is at The Green, East Rudham, and used to be Jane’s Coffee Corner. It is now owned/run by a lovely Italian lady and dogs are welcome in the front section of the cafe. When we visited recently Lily was given a free Pupaccino! They serve great coffee, cakes, and light lunches. They are on Facebook if you want to look them up. Thanks 🙂
For your list of dog friendly places – the cafe in Eaton Park and also Carberry’s on Magdalen Street. Carberry’s even has a resident Golden Retriever called Toby – its alternative name is Toby’s Cafe. Woodburner and very good cake!
And the Muddy Boots cafe at Blickling. And the pub The Bucks Arms at Blickling. Lots, in fact!
