Quick info
About The Matapan
Dogs are welcome at The Matapan, a bar and grill on Green Ln in Dagenham, so walkers can bring their companion along rather than leave them at home. The business works as both a bar and a restaurant, with drinks and grill cooking served under one roof and table service in the dining area. That dual setup means a visit can be a drink at the bar or a full sit-down meal, and dog owners are accommodated either way. Grilled dishes anchor what the kitchen sends out.
