This place is going to be amazing! 😁🖤
🐾🏰 A SNEAK PEEK AT THE PALACE… AND SOME PROPER SCRAN! 🏰🐾
It’s happening, canny lads and lasses! This Monday, 26th October, The Pawless Café at Barkingham Palace opens its doors for its soft launch — and Leazes Bark will be opening inside too! 🖤🤍
After all the build-up, the videos, the decorating and the graft going on behind the scenes, we’re getting ready to welcome YOU and your four-legged family through those doors. I honestly cannot wait to see dogs coming in with their tails wagging and people enjoying this beautiful building together. ❤️
And if you needed another reason to visit… Monday’s special is hearty mince and dumplings! That’s the sort of welcome we like up here, isn’t it? 😂🍽️
☕ Hot drinks for a proper catch-up. 🍰 Fresh bakes and something sweet. 🥪 Light bites and a full café menu. 🍲 Daily specials to warm you through. 🐶 Your dogs joining you for the occasion!
Haven’t got a dog? You’re still more than welcome! Come along for a cuppa, a bite to eat and a look at what’s taking shape.
There’s a secure outdoor pen and play space for the pups, too. The team are also aiming to have the soft play ready for Monday, but that’s still being worked on, so keep an eye out for updates. 🎾🐾
This is the first chapter of Barkingham Palace. The rest of the building is still being prepared, with more facilities to follow as everything becomes ready. Monday is your chance to support the café’s soft launch, visit me at Leazes Bark and see the beginnings of something we’re all putting so much into.
You’ve watched the updates on your phones — now we’d love to welcome you in person. Come and say hello, bring the dogs and make yourselves at home. It’ll mean a massive amount to see you there. 🖤🤍
