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 and third Sunday of every month due to popular demand.

*** 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.

Guests have a wide variety of savagely good brunch dishes to choose from off the a la carte menu that is as far removed from traditional brunch items as possible. Panko chicken cutlet, bacon and radish salad, cranberry, caper, sriracha 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 Savage Garden Rooftop Dog Brunch takes place from 12pm until 4pm monthly on the first and third Sunday of the month with reservations at 12pm, 1pm or 2pm. To reserve your table visit www.savagegarden.co.uk or call 020 7709 1043.

There’s another Picturehouse Central Dog-friendly Screening on 14th July, this time for the film ‘Yesterday’. Read our review of Picturehouse Central Dog-friendly Screenings here.

Yesterday Film Synopsis:

From Danny Boyle and Richard Curtis comes a British musical comedy about dreams of stardom and unexplained phenomena. Aspiring singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Patel) is struggling with his career. He’s just a man with big dreams and a guitar, loved and supported by his childhood best friend, Ellie (James); and he’s far from famous. Until one day, during a mysterious global blackout, a car hits him and he comes round to find that nobody remembers The Beatles – apart from him! Feeling obliged to bring the legendary melodies of the Fab Four back to life, and with a little help from his steely American agent (McKinnon), Jack rises to global stardom faster than you can say, ‘I believe in yesterday.’ But he may have taken on more than he can handle.

Always a popular event, tickets are £16.90 for adults and are available here.

Picturehouse Central Dog-friendly Screening Impawtent Info

Well-behaved dogs and their friendly owners (one dog per adult) are welcome at select film screenings which usually takes place on Sunday morning.  It’s a great way for dog owners to enjoy cinema without having to leave their best friend at home and to meet fellow dog-owning film fans.

Water is always available and all dogs sit on a blanketed seat so as to avoid any hairs or mess. After the event, the screen is thoroughly cleaned making sure our furry friends leave no trace behind. To further cater to cinema-loving pooches, the volume is dipped as they have superhero hearing powers.

Should a dog become unruly or adversely affect the enjoyment of others, the Manager needs to intervene and, if necessary, request that the owner and the dog leave the premises. No refund will be offered.

Perfect for some post work down-time with your pup, the Dog-friendly Beach Club Cinema at Fulham Beach is the latest dog-friendly cinema in town.
