点评:I live locally and walk in the area regularly so had visited this cafe before, finding it ok, if not spectacular but very convenient in an otherwise quiet spot.
Tried to call in again today while out with a friend and their dog, only to find dogs aren’t allowed inside, only in the outdoor seating area. Not too bad in summer perhaps, but on a cold, damp day, neither of us were in the mood to eat outdoors, so jumped in the car and visited Lingholm Kitchen instead, one of the many excellent dog-friendly cafes around Keswick.
I understand its the owner’s prerogative to set their own policy on dogs, but when the vast majority of businesses in the Lakes welcome dog owners, it’s always disappointing to be excluded like this, particularly when the cafe was practically empty at the time. As someone who eats out regularly across the area, thankfully I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of places that don’t welcome dogs, so there’s no shortage of alternatives.
翻译:我住在当地,经常在附近散步,所以以前去过这家咖啡馆,觉得还行,虽然不是很壮观,但在一个安静的地方非常方便。
今天和朋友带着狗出去玩的时候,我试图再去一次,结果发现狗不能进屋,只能在户外座位区。夏天可能还好,但在寒冷潮湿的日子里,我们俩都不想在户外吃饭,所以跳上车,去了 Lingholm Kitchen,这是凯西克周围许多很棒的狗友好型咖啡馆之一。
我明白老板有权制定自己的狗政策,但当湖区绝大多数企业都欢迎狗主人时,被这样排除在外总是令人失望的,尤其是当时咖啡馆几乎空无一人的时候。作为一个经常在该地区外出就餐的人,幸运的是,我可以用一只手数出不欢迎狗的地方的数量,所以不乏其他选择。
