Dinner on the balcony at The Times Berwick

An August Saturday night in Berwick, proper winter, and instead of the usual dog-friendly dinner of counter service and a cold bench outside, we took Max to the balcony at The Times. The heaters were on, which in August makes all the difference.

It was dark by the time we sat down, and the fairy lights along the deck did their thing. Max settled faster than he does at most places and spent the night under our table.

Max: A restaurant that runs heaters on the balcony in August understands the assignment. I lay under the table and worked the drop zone for steak offcuts.

It is a steakhouse, so the drop zone had potential. Nobody treated him like an inconvenience on the deck. He was just part of the booking.
