Doggy Sunday at Hampstead Gaucho is back on Sunday 7th April! The people at Gaucho are more than a little bit dog obsessed. We wanted to create a truly dog-friendly dining experience in London, so we created Doggy Sunday at Gaucho Hampstead. On the first Sunday of every month, book a table under your dog’s name and we’ll roll out the red carpet for all arriving pups – treats and good times are had by all, hounds and humans alike!

At each Doggy Sunday, we’ve invited our favourite dog brands to take over our terrace to entertain all our four-legged guests. For April, PetsPyjamas will be providing some destination inspiration for your next escape with your canine companion. They’re the number one destination for dog-friendly travel (as featured in our Dog Travel Awards 2018 round-up), with a collection of over 2000 hotels, cottages and B&B’s that are truly dog welcoming!

Please book under your dog’s name quoting Dog Sunday at Gaucho Hampstead. No charge to attend other than what you order from the menu.

One of London’s best rooftop bars, Savage Garden, has gone barking mad by introducing the special ‘Savage Garden Rooftop Dog Brunch’ on the first Sunday of every month.

*** Updated, read our review of the Savage Garden Dog Brunch here ***

Dubbed as London’s wildest sky-high destination, Savage Garden, brings decadent décor, jaw-dropping views, dramatic cocktails and savage menus to Tower Hill. Located atop the DoubleTree by Hilton, the ethos is focused on the unexpected. Two terraces provide 360-degree views of the London skyline including The Shard, Tower of London, The Gherkin and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The inaugural Savage Garden Rooftop Dog Brunch will take place on Sunday, 7 April and Savage Garden have super treats in store for VIPs – that’s Very Important Pooches of course!

Vibrant British made pet accessories brand, Hiro + Wolf, have a special accessory surprise and goodie bag for furry friends, and will showcase and retail their hand-made products at the brunch event – perfect for trying on. Each VIP guest will also be treated to a specially made Savage pupcake baked with delicious dog-friendly ingredients to nibble on whilst their humans enjoy a cocktail or two.

Guests have a wide variety of savagely good brunch dishes to choose from off the a la carte menu that are as far removed from traditional brunch items as possible. Panko chicken cutlet, bacon and radish salad, cranberry, caper, siracha mayo and a sunny-side fried egg, as well as bourbon glazed beef short rib, charred sourdough and poached eggs’ are tipped to be some of the favourites.

Cocktails are abundant, with bloody mary ‘red snappers’ and zesty mimosas all making an appearance.

Bring your pooch to this sky high destination and enjoy a day out with your best friend. This brunch is definitely not going to the dogs.

And if you don’t have four legs, you can still come and enjoy the usual Play Brunch that is on offer and make some new furry friends.

The inaugural Savage Garden Rooftop Dog Brunch is taking place on Sunday, 7 April from 12pm until 4pm and then monthly on the first Sunday of the month after that. To reserve your table visit www.savagegarden.co.uk or call 020 7709 1043.

About Hiro & Wolf

Hiro, a spirited Shiba Inu and Wolf, a cocktail of Terriers met eight years ago whilst walking their humans in London Fields Park. The playful pair couldn’t find anything cool enough to wear so convinced their humans to start sewing collars and leads using vibrant fabrics sourced from their travels around the world. Hiro + Wolf still proudly makes its colourful collection of collars and accessories for cats and dogs in the U.K. You can catch them at the Savage Garden Rooftop Brunch or pup down to see them at their dog-friendly pet emporiums on Columbia Road Flower Market and in the seaside town of Margate or shipping to fashion conscious felines and cool canines worldwide.
