Cleo

A butcher, a fishmonger and a chocolate shop under one roof. I need a moment.

Bonnie

Fish! Sausages! A chocolate shop, which isn't for me! We can go everywhere, even the sewing shop upstairs.

The pawrents

Riverside by Cliffe Bridge is a little indoor market: Nose2Tail the butcher, Bickerstaff's fish, Poppy's Chocolates, a brasserie and more. Dogs are welcome in every shop, and well-behaved dogs at The Stitchery, the haberdashery upstairs. Big car park beside it.
