River Deck Kitchen

The Riverdeck Kitchen is a dog friendly breakfast and lunch cafe in Bright. Dogs are welcome on their large outdoor deck which has nice views down towards the park and river. They are also a great spot for takeaway coffee to go for a walk along the river (though takeaway was limited last time I visited, hopefully with less covid restrictions its back to normal)!
