Edinburgh named most pet-friendly location for brunch-loving Brits in study

Now we can go out and see friends, it's safe to say we all want to take every opportunity to go out when we can for a catch up over some smashed avocado and a glass of prosecco.

But with 3 million Brits having acquired a pet during lockdown, who aren’t used to being left by themselves, we may be looking for spots where they can join us - but where in the UK is the best equipped for dog friendly brunching? 

 

 

Based on a variety of factors, a study by The Bottle Club has recently revealed which cities in the UK are best for brunch-loving Brits. 

Cardiff came top in the overall study, Bristol came top for vegan brunch lovers and Edinburgh has now been revealed to be the most pet-friendly city for those who want to take their fluffy friend along to enjoy a spot of brunch.  

According to the figures:

  • There are 495 brunch locations in Edinburgh, 5.5% of which are pet-friendly. That is approximately 27 pet-friendly brunch locations to choose from to go with your furry pal in the Scottish capital.

  • Brighton came 2nd just behind with 5.4% of their 204 brunch spots being pet-friendly. 

  • Glasgow however, is not as pet friendly as its fellow Scottish city, with only 2% of the city's 394 brunch spots being pet-friendly. 

As the laws in Scotland don’t allow for eateries to advertise as ‘bottomless’, we have put together the top ranking ‘boozy brunches’ in Edinburgh for those who want to get out and enjoy the start of summer with some bottomless brunch with friends - furry or otherwise. 

These can be found below, or in a Google doc format on request.

1 Rabble

 

Located: 55A Frederick St, Edinburgh EH2 1LH

 

Unfortunately in Scotland, you won’t find many ‘bottomless brunches’ due to local legislation, but when restrictions finally lift,  you’ll find plenty of ‘boozy’ ones! 

 

Rabble topped the list as Edinburgh’s most popular independent spot for a boozy brunch. For £30, you can choose a delicious breakfast dish paired with a variety of continental breakfast items - topped off with prosecco and a choice of cocktails - frosé anyone?
