Answer the questions to find out which type you are.
The Autumn-Walk Outdoor Type
You are here for the season itself. A terrace with a view of the trees, or a venue beside a leafy park, makes it easier to drop in as a continuation of your walk. Days are getting shorter, so arriving while it is still light makes it easier to keep both the view and the photos at their best. If steps at the entrance or a slippery floor are a concern, start with venues that have few steps. Comfort at the same temperature differs from dog to dog, and changes with age, season and how your dog feels that day. Keep visits on the short side and let your dog's behaviour guide you. If you notice anything that feels different from your dog's usual self - persistent shivering, reluctance to move, or a dull response when you call - do not wait and see by adjusting the seating; please consult a veterinary clinic. Note: These are general suggestions based on each venue's listed information. Dog policies and conditions can change, so please check with the venue before you go. Below are venues that match the conditions from your result. The order shown is not a ranking of recommendations.

The Temperature-Proof Indoor Type
You would rather the day's weather did not dictate your plans. Choosing venues that let dogs inside makes it easier to have the same comfortable visit even when the temperature swings. A venue with few steps at the door, or one that lends cafe mats, makes it less of a struggle to settle your dog at your feet.

The Warm-After-Dark Type
The hours after sunset are the ones you care about. A terrace with heating makes it easier to stay in the open air even once it is dark. On colder evenings, a roofed terrace keeps more of the wind off you. If steps at the entrance or a slippery floor are a concern, start with venues that have few steps.

The Weather-Ready Covered Type
You want the outdoor air without being at the mercy of the forecast. A roofed terrace, or one with vinyl curtains to block the wind, means sudden rain or gusts are less likely to send you looking for another table. Having one bookable venue in reserve makes the decision easier on the day. If steps at the entrance or a slippery floor are a concern, start with venues that have few steps.
