If any of my readers have a pet and a desire to get out for lunch with them then the Hughenden hotel’s restaurant “Quaife’s” is quite nice.Both the restaurant and some of their rooms are pet-friendly.

Jodie won a lunch there for us. Good food (think nice cafe food, Italian infulence) at reasonable prices ($22 for the most expensive dish – a perfectly cooked fillet of Salmon). Jodie tried squid tentacles for the first time, included on a generous tapas tasting plate.

Oscar, our dog, enjoyed the afternoon out and the other pets he met…except for the cat who didn’t really feel like playing with a bouncy puppy!
