First & Last

Since becoming dog owners we have found that visiting many of our normal dining haunts has become rather more complicated, so we make a lot of use of the ‘dog friendly’ filter on TripAdvisor. Despite this the welcome one receives when turning up with a dog is very variable, ranging from ‘dogs just about tolerated’ right through to ‘dogs welcomed with open arms and well catered for’. The First and Last was very much in the latter category. On arriving for Sunday lunch we were very pleased to see that they featured a special ‘doggy dinner’ as well as the more traditional Sunday offerings. The meal we were served was truly excellent, as was the aforesaid doggy dinner which was superb (photo below), and kept our hairy companion entertained for the duration of our own meal. Everything was very well prepared and presented. The portions were very generous. My wife actually had a children’s meal which was more than enough for her, whilst I struggled and failed to finish the adult serving. This is a place for bit appetites! The staff were extremely friendly, and at the end of our meal the Landlady came over to meet our dog and have a very pleasant chat with us. We were made to feel very welcome throughout and this will become somewhere that we will certainly visit again frequently.
