Start your day right with some morning treats

The High Field, Edgbaston

A gastropub nestled in the heart of Edgbaston, The High Field boasts both a stunning inside area as well as a beer garden and outside space great for pooches. They follow the philosophy of the old proverb which demands we eat breakfast like Kings (and Queens), and their food certainly lives up to that! Quality is central to everything they do, with free-range bacon and sausages from Jimmy Butler’s Blythburgh Farm, Clonakilty Black Pudding and artisan sourdough from Royal Warrant Holders.
 

JuJu’s Cafe, City Centre

JuJu’s is a quaint canal-side cafe which serves up a proper soul-warming British breakfast, the ideal choice for a cosy morning coffee and bite to eat. Make sure you also order a puppuccino to ward off any FOMO from your pup whilst you tuck in! It’s also in a convenient location, only a stone’s (or ball’s) throw from many key city-centre attractions, so you can get on with your day straight away with a full belly!
 

Medicine Bakery, Mailbox

Bring your dog along to the famous Medicine Bakery - their breakfasts really are to die for! They welcome pups with open arms, but ask for ‘paws on the floor’ please. Why not take away one of their iconic Cronuts to keep you fuelled until your next stop?
