Buckley's Chance

The short version. Buckley's Chance is an all-day cafe in Alstonville's heritage-listed 1909 post office at 86 Main Street, and dogs are welcome on the wide front deck. If you want breakfast or a long black with your dog beside you, the verandah is the spot.

The dog setup. Dogs join you in the outdoor seating, specifically the broad deck and verandah out front. It is a relaxed, open area with room to settle a dog under the table, and water bowls are put out for visiting pups. Inside dining is people-only, so aim for a deck table.

Good to know. The kitchen leans on Northern Rivers produce, pours Allpress coffee and stocks Jilly wines and Yulli's beers. Open daily 6am to 2pm, with a Friday dinner service from 5pm to 9pm. Breakfast and brunch are the busy stretch.

Getting there. Free street parking runs along Main Street, with a free car park nearby. It sits in the centre of town, so it is an easy walk if you are already exploring the village.

Make a morning of it. Crawford Park is a short walk down Main Street for a quick leg-stretch before or after coffee, and the quiet main street is pleasant for a stroll with the dog.
