The Lamppost Cafe, Bridge Gate, has been shortlisted in the ‘Dog-Friendly Business of the Year’ category and will go up against two others to be crowned the winner.

The cafe welcomes hound and human - complete with treats, towels, beds and water - for those pampered pooches.

There’s even ‘pupcakes’, dog ice cream and dog beer.
