The Barking Dog

Really good value food. The staff are also really friendly. There are a couple of good gluten free options on the menu too!

The Barking dog is a great pub. In an age where there are trendy bars and themed drinks outlets popping up , it’s so good to see a traditional style pub going strong . The beers are great, the staff are great and the welcome is always on point, you can tell that the owner cares. They put a real effort into entertainment and have all sorts going on to cover most interests. Quizzes , DJs and more . The food is lovely and cooked with care . I’ve got a gluten allergy and when I queried the food the waitress did a great job going through the options . Now I’ve worked in hospitality for a along time , mostly in kitchens and if I was ever asked about allergies, especially gluten I would always say that although many items were gluten free , we do prepare food with flour etc and there could be a small chance that some flour could fall or ‘drift’ into another dish. This is highly unlikely and also wouldn’t be an Amount that would cause a problem but better safe than sorry. If someone has a serious allergy their safety comes first . So I appreciated the staffs honesty in relation to this and I went ahead and enjoyed a great meal. The place is well maintained and cleaned. It’s got great ventilation and felt really airy, yet cosy. Well done guys , keep up the good work and see you for a beer soon. When is the bald DJ on next ? He is hilarious. Take care !
