(SOUNDBITE) (English) AFTER BARK BAR FOUNDER, JAMIE SWAN, SAYING:"The puptails, they basically consist of raw beet or raw carrot. We don't have any preservatives in anything. We have some lovely teas as well. So we have Fish Island Iced Tea, for instance, which is just for dogs, and that's got things like dandelion and burdock in, which are good for the gut and good for the overall health. So it's about wellbeing and health, as well as just a lot of fun."

(SOUNDBITE) (English) DOG OWNER, JESS BELL, SAYING: "I have never been to anything like this before. The fact that the snacks are allowed to be eaten by both dogs and humans is like... Well, we share our food anyway, but I absolutely like it. And the 'Cai-paw-inhas' are delicious."

(SOUNDBITE) (English) 30-YEAR-OLD DOG OWNER, DOM MOORE, SAYING: "I'm a huge fan of cocktails, and I think it's something that's desperately missing from east London around here. So love to come down here Thursday, Friday, and also it's so nice to be able to bring him along and know that he can enjoy himself in a relaxed atmosphere."
