The Red Dog, Inworth 

Customers had high praise for the burgers offered at The Red Dog. 

One review said: "I can honestly say, hand on heart, The Red Dog burgers are the stuff of fantasies, that is, you dream of the PERFECT, juicy, magnificent burger, but you’re often left a bit disappointed when you order a burger in any other pub, restaurant or burger bar.......but this is THE BEST Burger I have ever tasted in my life."

Another said: "Such a pretty location, lovely friendly staff.... and ENORMOUS portions! Not just the usual boring veggie burger but a choice of several bespoke veggie and vegan meals. And the chips were a meal on their own! Really worth a visit."
