It Started At A Window
A seafront coffee window, just back from the Hove front, where the regulars kept arriving four legs first. So we built them a club.
The Dogs' Members Club · Hove
Sit. Stay.
Pawsome.
A bowl, a bistro, and the very good ones. Every regular gets a card in the rack; every order is a numbered club perk.
Today's Good Ones
Stamped In: 0 / 4About The Club
A café you can bring the lead to.
Good Ones Only
Leads on inside, two fresh water bowls by the door, and a quieter corner for the first-timers. Warm for the humans, better for the dogs.
Leads Optional OutsideTwo Water Bowls27 Tideway Lane, just back from the seafront.
The Rack
Twelve dogs who count this as their café.
Stamp a card to read their note. Three weeks running and you get your own card in the rack.
The Perks
Numbered, paired, for both of you.
The Rulebook
House Rules
Can I bring my dog?
Yes — that's rather the point. Leads on inside the cafe, please.
Is there water?
Two fresh bowls by the door, refilled hourly.
What about puppies?
Welcome. We've got a quieter corner if it's their first cafe trip.
Do you do birthdays?
We do — a personalised iced bone is £3.20 with 24 hours' notice.
What if my dog is anxious?
Off-peak is Tuesday and Wednesday, 14:00–16:00 — much quieter.
Are you cat-friendly?
We adore cats but we'd rather not have a riot.
The Wall
Wall Of Wags
Beans
Will sit on the welcome mat exactly long enough to be photographed.
Pickle
Demands the corner banquette by the window.
Maple
Greets every other dog. Has not encountered a stranger.
Tuna
Snores louder than the bean grinder. Beloved.
Olive
Curls into the smallest possible shape under table 4.
Biscuit
Lives up to the name. Two parents, four scones a week.
Marlow
House DJ — sits next to the speaker and is unmoved.
Nimbus
Tallest regular. Cannot be bribed.
Hazel
Will absolutely steal your sock if you let her.
Albie
Walks like a tiny ballet dancer; refuses to sit.
Dot
Hasn't worked out the door yet.
Mr Pip
Has opinions. Loves a window seat.
