I was super excited to make my first visit to The Hound Lounge with my friend and our three dogs. Staff were welcoming and the cafe charming and friendly. We chose a panini, cake and coffee with three biscuits for the dogs. The paninis were very large and I might suggest sharing if you don't have a huge appetite.
However, I wanted to pay with a gift voucher that I had as a present from work. When the payment went through I was told that my voucher ran out in October and that I had to pay with an alternative means. The member of staff was very directed and did not offer any other option IE; speak to the manager, warning for next time , give me half the value etc. It was a disappointing and flat refusal of my £25 voucher. In my defence the card and voucher had no expiry date stamped on it and nothing to say that the voucher should be redeemed with a certain period. Needless to say my excitement turned to disappointment. We left the cafe after what should have been a very pleasant visit to a new regular watering hole. Such a shame! 17th April 2024 Dear Owner, Thank you for responding to my review and offering to sort out the voucher issue. I am unable to reply to you review and take you up on your offer. Please let me now the best way to contact you. Many...

It's a hound lounge and very popular, so it's going to smell of dawgs, but this is the place to come with your pooch, as they are well catered for here: dog toys, dog beds, water bowls and all manner of dog treats, biscuits, cakes. Great choice! Homemade sausage rolls at weekends only. Reasonably priced. I would revisit and I...
Read moreWe dropped in for coffee and cake during our visit to the Sleeper Market. It’s dog friendly and there were a few pooches there with their owners! The friendly staff made a fuss of our dog and offered her a treat whilst we ordered coffees! They have a great selection of cakes to choose from!! Our dog had a puppucino and a homemade biscuit! She absolutely loved it!! Our coffees were great, as was the raspberry and almond cake! There were dog beds, toys, and towels for the dogs. They also have a mini store for dog treats, bandanas, and...
