Bark! City Chaos and Cuddle Breaks

Woof-woof, humans! It's me, Barnaby, your four-legged friend who's seen more urban madness than most two-legged city dwellers. Let me tell you about the hilarious human zoo out there!

These humans and their weird walking habits—crikey! They're zigzagging down pavements like they've got squirrels in their trousers. Oxford Street? More like Obstacle Street! Some humans walk so slow (including my dad Rob, must be a Kiwi thing), I could do three laps around them while walking my human, Boo. And don't get me started on those silent e-scooter things—they zip about like sneaky cats, making me jump every single time!

The bus? Pure comedy. Humans tap and untap and get all worked up about contactless this and zone that. Give me a good belly rub and a clear path, I say! And those roadworks? More cones than a dog training school—and nobody's even training!

But here's the best part: Barnaby & Boo's is my humans' secret weapon against city chaos. It's like a cozy blanket for your brain, a treat for your tired soul. While the city does its mad dance, we're here to help you take a breather, have a chuckle, and remember life's not just about navigating—it's about wagging.

So grab a cuppa, a shake or an ice cream, scratch behind your ears (or get someone to do it for you), and let's dive into some delightful distraction!

Woof with love, Barnaby 🐾

Nachos: The Ultimate Comfort Food

Crispy, cheesy, and endlessly customisable - nachosare the perfect snack for any occasion. Whether you like them loaded with toppings or just with a simple cheese melt, they always hit the spot.

Originating in Mexico in the 1940s, nachos were first created by Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya, a chef who whipped up a quick dish for some hungry guests by layering fried tortilla chips, melted cheese, and jalapeños. The result? A delicious, crunchy, and gooey masterpiece that has since taken the world by storm!

What makes nachos even better is their versatility. You can keep it classic with cheese, salsa, and guacamole, or go all out with toppings like slow-cooked beef, spicy pulled chicken, black beans, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, or even smoky BBQ jackfruit for a plant-based twist. Feeling extra indulgent? Drizzle on some chipotle mayo or a rich queso sauce for that extra flavour hit.

If we were to open in the evenings (hint, hint!), nachos would be on the menu, alongside hot dogs and our delicious gelatos and desserts. Imagine cosying up with a plate of loaded nachos, followed by a scoop of creamy gelato - sounds like the perfect night out, right?
