2. Treat your dog to a Sunday roast
Bringing your dog to the pub is nothing new, however The Chalk Freehouse in Chelsea from chef Tom Kerridge believe furry friends should get the entire Sunday lunch experience. They've teamed up with fresh dog food brand Butternut Box to give four-legged diners their own roast. Running every Sunday throughout autumn, The Dog's Dinner is a complimentary meal for dogs dining alongside their owners. The specially created roast includes pork, dog-friendly roast potatoes, crushed carrot and a Yorkshire pudding, with the recipes developed to make sure they're safe, healthy and, crucially, tasty for dogs. While pups tuck in, their humans can choose from The Chalk's Sunday menu, which includes a 30-day dry-aged rib-eye.
