Watergate Cafe
(354 reviews)
We are a Community Cafe, based on the edge of Watergate Forest Park, Lobley Hill, Gateshead.
Read MoreAs a community cafe (not for profit) we love to meet everyone in our community, especially the 4 legged ones. Dogs are always welcome in the cafe, even if they have been enjoying themselves in muddy puddles, all we ask is that dogs are on leads and owners are mindful of our other customers. We have dog beds to use, as well as bowls of water and dogs are usually greeted with a treat (or two).

Watergate cafe is lovely place. Great food, great coffee and very friendly and welcoming staff and best of all it is very dog friendly.
Watergate forest park is a lovely place to explore and enjoy a walk with your dogs.

Rex loves it here…. It’s more catered for dogs than humans lol.
Lots of lovely pics and a very warm and cosy environment.
They even have dog toys for them to play with..
Lovely place to come on a Sunday with all the family

They make the biggest fuss of every single dog. Nothing is too much trouble and nobody judges if your pup is having a bad day and not on their best behaviour
