Cafe customers are lapping it up

-

Dog-lovers of all ages flocked to Allington last week for the grand opening of a new pooch-friendly cafe.

Baskervill­e’s Coffee Shop is the first business of its kind to open its doors in the area and welcomed a number of families with their four-legged friends in tow.

Customers as young as eight-month-old Kensie Peto appeared to be enjoying the service on offer at the cafe in Appledore Court, Hildenboro­ugh Crescent, which used to be known as Grinds Coffee House.

The premises were bought by Celeste Baskervill­e in December and refurbishe­d before opening to great fanfare on Friday.

Mrs Baskervill­e, 45, from Penenden Heath, said the idea of running such a business has been a dream of hers for more than two decades.

As well as coffee, it will offer cakes, soups and home-made chilli dishes, with free Wi-fi.
