Canine-Themed Dishes

This British Restaurant Serves Its Meals in Dog Bowls

The Varsity Warwick Pub in Britain is now serving its hearty meals in dog bowls. Restaurant gimmicks have become extremely popular in recent years with everything from stuffed animal cafes to restaurants that serve wine in baby bottles. However, the canine-inspired menu at the Varsity Warwick Pub puts a whole new spin on the idea of themed dinning.

The eatery's specialty dish is called ''The Dog's Dinner' and customers who order it have the opportunity to eat their meal from a giant dog bowl. The dish consists of thick-cut French fries, baked beans, sausages and a side of bacon. The idea is to give diners a hearty meal that they can wolf down when they are at their hungriest. The other inspiration behind serving meals in dog bowls was to rebel against the popularity of serving dishes on decorative platters such as pieces of wood or roof tiles.

While the meals at The Dog's Dinner may not look as aesthetically pleasing as those in other restaurants, they certainly provide a fun experience for travelers and locals alike.
